Picking up on his plan, Ellen kills Nimdok, and Ted kills Benny, Gorrister, and Ellen.

He makes a snap decision to murder his companions in an act of compassion, saving them from eternal torment. Watching this horrific act, Ted has the epiphany that death is the group’s only escape. Throughout the story, AM starves the group for months and keeps them alive in agony, and Benny cannibalizes Gorrister as a result.
