“Jane, after you left, I realized I can’t live without you! Without your presence at home, I can’t even sleep. If you don’t come back to me, then life has no meaning!” I avoided his touch, my eyes showing nothing but distaste. His wrists were covered in cuts, some fresh, some healed, like ugly worms crawling over his skin. He said, “Every day you were gone, I thought of you, and I’d cut myself. The pain was the only thing that could keep me awake. The only way I could atone! “Jane, I know I was wrong. Please come back to me. I swear I’ll treat you right this time. I’ll never let you down again!”

The guard said Lance had suddenly turned this way and told me to wrap up my visit soon. I'd barely sat down when Lance seemed to jolt awake from a trance. "Wesley, help me! I've been reborn. I know so much about what's going to happen! I just came back too late. If I had come back just a little earlier, I could've—" He gritted his teeth with a look of defiance. And still, there wasn't a shred of remorse. I was somewhat surprised. Lance had also been reborn, but he was a step slower than we were.

Twisted. "You let me desecrate you..." “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails. He was fucking singing that song. The one that oozed sex and sin, but the way his voice carried it? It turned the lyrics into something darker, something that wrapped itself around my throat like a noose. "You let me penetrate you.." The sound slithered through the tunnel, crawling toward me. I ran harder, my lungs burning, my legs trembling with each stride. "I wanna fuck you like an animal..."

Jason’s pupils dilated, as though she had struck him across the face. He finally realized how foolish he had been back then. I no longer cared about their mess. I just looked at him calmly and said, “The ambulance is here.” He was silent for a long time before saying hoarsely, “Nina… Can we still go back to the way we were?” I chuckled. Go back to the way we were? He was the one who destroyed everything, and now he was trying to have it all back?

“Sure. Go ahead.” She reached up, handed me the music box, her fingertips brushing the back of my hand. It felt cold, like snake skin. “Thanks.” I took it with a feigned brightness and deliberately wound it in front of her. That warped “Für Elise” filled the room again. This time, I listened carefully to every note. Beneath the melody, there was a faint distortion, almost like someone whispering from far away. “It sounds beautiful,” I said, silently counting the beats in my head.

‘Well fuck me, she left’ I thought as I turned to go back to the packhouse. I swiped my hand down my face, that did not go as planned. I had only taken a few steps when I heard someone singing. I didn’t see anyone, so I followed the melody: “Out of the ruins, Out from the wreckage, Can’t make the same mistake this time. We are the children, The last generation, We are the ones they left behind. And I wonder when things are ever gonna change, Living in fear, ‘til nothing else remains. We don’t need another Hero, We don’t need to the way home…” the words to ‘We don’t need another hero’ by Tina Turner floated through the air.

I laugh so loud. I keep walking while the man keeps following me. I could barely open my eyes this time. I'm really drunk. But I can still manage to walk. He is not the gentleman type. He is not even like the stupid Alex that I know. I've been crisscrossing the silent alley away from the bar and he is just following me.

‘Light me up, burn me to ash’ ‘I know we can never go back’ ‘Cover me in gasoline’ ‘Light the match and then let me be’ ‘White lighter bad omens’ ‘Your poison so potent’ ‘You’ve left me so broken’ ‘Hole in my chest wide open’ I felt my mind start to break. It was tearing me in half and I felt the pain in my soul, as it stripped my sanity from me. My body fell into the mattress, any strength that I had to even fight the pain was gone. The hand that had been holding my arm disappeared and I heard bones snap as Ethan shifted fully next to me. Rain was yelling in my head, her song broken but I couldn’t hear her anymore.

Amy lay on the bed sadly and suddenly recalled that she had gotten headphones for herself. She quickly downloaded a few more songs and in no time, she had many songs on her phone. She connected her phone to the earphones and began to play the songs in her playlist. As she lay on the bed, listening to the songs, she soon forgot about her unhappiness and began to sing along until she finally fell asleep. Meanwhile, Bastian went to her door and knocked. He had told himself that while having sex with her, he would cover her face with a pillow and pretend that she was someone else.
