Wasn't she the one who didn't believe me? Before I could process it, the video started. It showed me being thrown back into The Abyss by my adoptive parents. But this time, I stopped fighting. I looked into the lens, my eyes dead but hiding a dark resolve. "Everyone has abandoned me. I don't have the courage to live anymore." "But before I go, I'm dragging everyone here to hell with me."

I know we can’t forget that, but maybe you can give me some slack for it.” “You abandoned me before and after the Claiming, but not inside the arena.

They fell silent. “I'm not here to listen to your arguments,” I continued, my hands trembling slightly. “I am ending this call right now.” Before either of them could respond, I pressed the red button and ended the call.
