Anthony was a bit taken aback by the hug at first, but leaned in and hugged him back tightly as well after a moment. "I promise," Anthony said. He didn't know if he would keep that promise or not, but a large part of him wanted to. And he didn't even know why exactly, which was the worst part of it all. Maybe he just didn't want to die as well. Maybe it was something else. He didn't know. "really. I promise." He repeated, as if to finally confirm it.
