"...be so pitiful."

"Amusing!"

"How do you even exist until now?"

"...lose your sanity in the process?"

"Perfect lab rat!"

Stop.

"...proposition to..."

"How much do you know?"

"...from this world, don't you?"

"...under the same sky but see different..."

"...make a single wrong move..."

"...leads on to the past."

Enough.

"...what you get for feeling so..."

"...can no longer do your duty."

"Your sentence..."

I get it now so stop it.

"...keep on hiding from me?!"

"Why would you...to me...?"

"...had no choice."

"You're still one of us."

"...cute baby bird. Weak..."

"...in denial. Pathetic."

I said stop!

"You can't protect..."

"...this little facade of yours."

"Running out of time."

"...going to die?!"

Was it trying to say something? I bet it did. Sal Vindagnyr came to me in a dream. This is no different.

Then I saw her. Those frosty eyes and light blue highlights running through her hair. Heh... It couldn't be anyone else.

But why was the eye of the frost and snowflake trying to overtake me? Was it a sign I would be manipulated?

Haha! Don't make me laugh.

But it only gets colder...and colder...until I can't feel anything.

"...can't run from ME! Ahahaha! HAHAHA!"

My whole face is numb. I'm...getting dizzy.

"Let us don our masks and make a mockery of the world!"
