This series may be upsetting and/or graphic and may not be suitable for those easily upset. ‘”Spider, come on. You don’t need to do this.” Silvia pleaded, grasping Darren’s arm and pulling him back, with fail. “Please don’t do this.” “No,” he shouted, dismissing her grip. “I need to do this. I have to.
