12:36 pm at midnight western times inside a humble American home in the outskirts neighbourhood of San Francisco. A boy no older then 18 years old was standing Infront of a crack mirror slightly stained with drips of blood.

He was shorter then an average boy his age should be. With brunette messy hair, green eyes and wore nothing but just brown trunks, allowing him to see his figure on the fragmented mirror, pale skin and a withered body so unhealthy that they were practically muscleless with the ribcage being easily defined and a sucken stomach

The boy's hands were grip on the sink. Shacking like they were struggling with holding his body straight, his right knuckles was blooded with pricks of small shattered glass, it look painful, extremely so. But he seem not to be bothered by the pain— or did he even felt it pierce his skin? Anyone would be wincing in pain and started removing the shards as fast as possible, but he payed no mind and let them rest deep with his blood dripping down the sink and stained the tiled floor.

"Just let me think first" he finally replied after a long state of silence, with a voice that simply calling it lack of emotion would be sugar coating, if a corpse can speak behind his or her death— it would be more lively then the boy's absolute deadness of a voice he had.

Wanting the boy to just get on with what ever he was supposed to do

"I'm still a kid, a child... not like your others before me" He retorted with no more emotion then before, every sentence he look left him sounding unimpressed, coupled with his voice who's monotone-ness made the dead sound alive by comparison.

A boy of his lively hood couldn't possibly had a good life if he turned out this colourless in comparison to his bright eyes. But the reality is he did had a good life— a good meaningless life, with parents so loving yet so unaware of what he feels.... Or lack there off. He was a boy filled with contradictions
