Mister Gopher Wood leads you to his office. His hands leave your shoulders as you feel the weight lifted off them. He sits on the chair behind his desk, looking at you with eyes that are always Plotting.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" He leans forwards, propping his elbows on the table.

You stand there, in front of him, not knowing what to say. Mister Gopher Wood smiles.

"You see, it seems like you are a big pillar of support for the siblings."

"What?" You raise your eyebrows at him. Mister Gopher Wood chuckles at your confusion.

"I brought you here for emotional support for the brother and sister. They might need it. Ah... No they will need it." Mister Gopher Wood's oh so kind smile breaks it's facade as he stares at you with crazed eyes.

"Tell me kid, how did you end up at the orphanage? I know how they did. But there was nothing on your records about you—no let me rephrase that, there was no record on you."

You clench your fists, how would you know. You just opened your eyes one day and poof you are here. But a part of you thinks, in this life, your mother married that guy and left you on the streets to fend for yourself.

You shake your head, these thoughts would do nothing but make you feel bad. So no, You won't dwell in them. Bottling up the feelings, your eyes meet his.

"So, there is something... The look in your eyes says that much. Anyways this is not going how I wanted."

"I might have to use other methods." He mumbles but you are too in your head to hear him.

He stands up from the chair, walking up to you. "Let me guess, you were nothing of significance. That's why you were discarded." He grabs your chin making you look up at him.

"You don't have any talent, nothing! you are Worth nothing as well. A worthless piece of nothing!" Forcefully, he let's go of your chin. You look down, his words registering in your head.

But all you hear is your mother's voice.

"You are the play-toy for the siblings so I will keep you around. But don't.." He smiles at you, that Poisonous one.

A ringing in your ears starts, making everything loud, painfully loud.

"...Mess up my plans. You are dismissed." With a dismissive wave of his hand, your assigned maid standing by the door, grabs your wrist gently and leads you out of the office room.

You are led down the hall by her, but her hand on your wrist feels tight, it hurts.

'you are the reason that he got into a car accident!'

Your heart pounds so fiercely it feels like it might burst from your chest.

'Your whining for ice cream lead to this outcome! It's all your fault! Good for nothing.'

She opens the door of your room. With a bow she leaves you alone, closing the door behind you. You don't notice, you are not paying attention to her. You slide against the door, hugging your knees close to your chest.

'You greedy child, first you took away my husband's love for me. Now you took him completely!!'

Your breathing comes in rapid, shallow gasps, each inhale making the room seem smaller and more suffocating.

'worthless! Worthless! You are nothing. why Didn't you die?! Why are you still here!? You remind me of him. I want you gone.'

"STOP!" You clench your head, crouching down against the door. Your vision blurs, the edges darkening, and you have to blink repeatedly to clear it. Rubbing your eyes as you try to take in deep breaths.

"I know.. I know.. it's my fault...all my fault." you whisper to yourself.

'Finally You are out of my life..now I can live happily while you dwell in your misery.'

A wave of nausea surges through you, and you clutch your chest, doubling over slightly as a tightness grips your chest. You look up and see your mother standing over you with another man that is not your father. You see she is happy and has moved on.

The overwhelming dread, the sense of impending doom, amplify those thoughts mercilessly. You squeeze your eyes shut, trying to focus on anything, something to anchor yourself, but the fear is too intense, too consuming.

She has abandoned you, she has left you. You are nothing without her. This feeling of emptiness consumes you. Making you feel trapped, caged in your own body.

You feel a sudden gust of wind, and then everything stops, the sound of the clock, the sounds of footsteps outside the door, houseworker's petter patter of feet as they work.

It's silent, too silent. You open your eyes and you are not in your new room anymore. But in the...

'This place, I have seen it in game. The place where Acheron and Ave—'

"Your soul, though fractured, relentlessly weaves itself back together in rebellion." You are snapped out of  your thoughts, head turning towards the sound of her voice.

Your breath Hitches, a lump forming in your throat.

"What...am I doing here?" You ask, hesitantly. Looking at Acheron with cautious eyes.

'she wouldn't just attack me out of nowhere, right?'

"I am here to guide you towards eternal rest." Her eyes, narrow as she looks at you.

"THEY have gazed upon you and by THEIR mercy you are to perish in the realm of nothingness. To escape from this cruel reality of yours."

Your eyes widen as you slowly back away from her. "What are you talking about?" The panic attack, you were having was long forgotten as you now feel your fight or flight response kick in.

"As an emanator of Nihility, this is what I have to do."

Acheron unsheathes her blade, her hair turning white, decorated with red.

"Do you want to end it all?" Her eyes are red as drops of red trail down her cheeks. You look at her in horror.

'No! no! no!' You feel your Brain shouting for you to refuse. But this is what you wanted. Just to end it all and be free. To not feel trapped anymore. This was what you were waiting for.

To escape, to run away. To end it all. And you are getting it, your wish, on a silver platter.

You look at Acheron with a small smile. This is the end.
