They had been stuck under Slender's orders for 5 years, 5 years too long in Hoody's opinion. Hoody wasn't exactly satisfied with the situation either, especially due to the side effects that he was being forced to face; nausea, dizziness, migraines and the big one, being revived from the dead. He was contempt with being dead; he'd spent years learning to accept death as he delved more and more into that whole 'Marble Hornets' fiasco. But never did he expect to come back. He had woken up randomly one day in the forest, getting that familiar headache that lingered with the Operator but instead he was faced with Slenderman. Both were as horrible as each other in Hoody's perspective, both caused him to go insane and lose his sense of control; the only reason he gathered the courage to stay this time was the addition of his colleague.
