     I brought the knife back down, thinking of everyone I'd ever made life worse for.

     So many people, dead.

     Beckendorf and Silena. A newly joined couple. Killed because of my recklessness.

     Ethan Nakamura. Luke Castellan. Bob.

     Leo.

     So much blood.

     My vision swam, and a splitting headache erupted in my temples. The edges of my vision turned black. I sank down to the floor of the lake, unconscious.
