18 - Just as her friends had believed in her.
They had laughed together, they had cried together.
She couldn't find words to explain how much she missed them.

16 - ...There was a time where she had believed things could be better.
That it wasn't all wrong. That she wasn't wrong.
That even her family would have accepted her.

14 - That place was a castle and that castle was a cage.
She could materialize anything but never a key.
She would never get out of there.
She had failed, and standing there was like dying.
How many more times..? Why didn't anyone hear her screams?!

13-She had erupted words like rising lava.
Where was she?! How to get out of there?!
Why, and why, and why.
The creatures trembled like seaweed, silent.
Obviously.
They were just a constant presence.
An useless one.
Theirs, and of what continued to watch her from afar.

12 - There were uncontrollable things in that perennial dawn.
Small, harmless beings who seemed to want to take care of her, and..
An invisible, distant constant thought that she couldn't understand.

10 - Her hope was dead.
He died with her when everything went wrong.
He left her alone.
"Let me out of here. Let me out, I beg you!!!
I have a promise to keep, some forgiveness to ask for!"
That place didn't give a damn.

9 - But inevitably the toad jumped away, dripping blood and leaving a trail of ash so similar to that promise she will never keep.
Her hope gradually transformed into awareness.

7 - Sometimes there was only silence.
At times, the silence was filled with a disjointed drip.
Tears or blood, she didn't know,
but the dripping seemed to say: "IT'S ALL MY FAULT."

6 - "Are you laughing at me?"
She wants to yell in his face.
"Are you laughing at her now that she can't smile anymore?!"

5 - In those moments he came to mind.
"Suffering will always find you." He said.
“You have to learn to dance around it to survive.”
She saw him, devoured by mad flames and noisy wind.
You, traitor.
