Natsume had started to come around while Jun had been messing with the rope. Like Jun, he'd felt the anticipation of the plan coming together. Of not having to run anymore, or worry about being eaten.

“I just wanted to feel alive again… I wanted to feel like you again… to be whole."
As exhausted as he was, Natsume couldn't handle the rush of mixed emotions those words brought up. The statue was no longer possessed, but he didn't feel any better about it. He sat there, staring at the crumbled head before a tear finally fell and he forced himself to look away.]
