let this go on.” Her eyes wandered around the room, looking everywhere except his eyes. The
bare walls and organized desk created an uninviting atmosphere, yet she felt safe in the strike
room.
“I'm fine, and have been for the past 7 years. You don't need to worry about me,” she replied,
bringing her hand up to her torso and allowing her delicate fingers to brush against the bruised
flesh. The slightest touch burned through her body, but she didn't let the pain show in her

As she fled the room he made no move to follow, instead calling out to her
receding figure, commanding her to return.
But she did not listen. Could not listen. He didn't understand and never would. He was

She walked home with a heavy heart. To any passerby she would appear to be a porcelain doll;
weak and fragile, cracked and broken. Yet her soul was made of titanium, unbreakable.

something she didn't recognize. Her body slackened in his vice-like grip.
“Return to dust “ she whispered, plunging the knife through his torso. The stainless steel blade
