Frustrating feelings

Start from the beginning
                                    

As he held her corpse in his arms again, suddenly she spoke

"Who....are you?"

He was shocked, he flinched but still managed to speak

Alex: "Niffty!?, i-it's me! Alex!"

Niffty: "..."
"I never met any Alex before..."

Maybe it was because they were in a dream, but she couldn't remember him at the moment, he felt her regrets, and...he felt nostalgic...for some reason

Niffty: "But... you sound so familiar... your voice makes me feel warm..."

"Do i deserve such a thing? After all the wrong things i've done?"

Alex was at a loss for words...what could he possibly say to comfort her in this torture?

He knew she wasn't innocent or blameless....

But out of everyone in hell, she was making the most progress towards redemption

He shut his eyes tight, his voice wavering, the pain was intense...

Alex: "I....i think you do..."
"But i'm not that great...now am i?"
"I can't even save a single soul, or you...from all of this."

Niffty: "..."
"Why is it your fault?"

Her voice sounded more high pitched now, he opened his eyes again, seeing how she was turning into a demon, the bullet holes becoming marks on her skin, and her right eye, which was shot, disappearing, leaving only one

"Those were my choices...and oh man...i made the wrong ones."
"In the end, this is what i deserve"

"Why are you blaming yourself for something i did? Besides....you're here, aren't you?"

She caressed his cheek with one of her hands, her skin turning into its' usual pale white...he held it close with his own hand

"Sigh....i guess you're right, i just... have a hard time believing in myself sometimes... but when people say stuff about me...it sounds so true"
"Especially when you say it"

She smiled. As she had always done, but her smile faded when she saw him trembling from the pain of her wounds

Niffty: "Sorry, you can... feel this too, can't you?"
"I'm dragging you through all of this..."

Alex: "Well...like you said, it's not your fault, is it?"

He looked up to the starry sky, seeing how there was something worth it in all this pain... maybe God was being merciful

Niffty: "I remember this sky, it's so pretty... I wonder if... God was trying to comfort me here"

He felt her shame and regret when she said "God", which gave him hope for her redemption...

Alex: "I'm sure he was...he's God after all..."

She felt comforted by this...maybe there was hope for her afterall...despite being out of touch, despite being able to get by in hell, wouldn't it be nice to go to heaven?

Silence took over, they were completely quiet, Niffty was half way through becoming a demon, but she still wanted to say something

Niffty: "You know...when i first saw you, i thought...you were kinda weird...i followed you around, but nothing would happen, no killing, no kidnapping or anything like that...you just...wandered around, and kept to yourself, it was...boring...because i normally like bad boys....but i couldn't stop following you"

"I don't know...maybe it's fate...but i felt like talking with you, and i got lucky that you went so close to the hotel that day, i was...excited, more than usual"
