  Summary

  God's given us years of happiness here
  Now we must part
  And as the angels come and call for you
  The pains of grief tug at my heart
  Oh my darling
  My darling
  My heart breaks as you take your long journey...
  
  Arthur desperately needs to heal from his trauma. It only follows him as he runs away, baring its rotting, yellow teeth in his face, threatening to consume him and everything he's ever lived for.
