THE WORLD BEGAN AND ENDED IN RED. Walls bleed crimson && her vision is a blur of disconnected memories — the golden and darkness and all that blood. It is messy. And it hurts, it hurts and agonizes so bad once she realizes she is inside a CAGE — and the iron bars are coming closer and closer, ready to CRUSH her. Outside, it’s him again. Those blue eyes — HER eyes — stare at her wide open as his hands try in vain to contain all the blood leaking from his open throat. He keeps on choking until Scarlett no longer knows if what she is hearing is a gag or a LAUGH. And suddenly, his eyes were no longer blue either, they were black as onyx stones — as the monster of her nightmares. Damir smiled at her and the world was licked by flames.

She listens to the detective’s murmurs, those whispering ghosts, && tries to concentrate on her voice, on anything that looks REAL, but bile rises up her throat and she storms to the bathroom, throwing all the dinner out.
It takes two, five minutes until the girl leaves the small area to face the woman who, despite all that shit, still seemed willing to help — to understand. Scarlett controls the urge to tell her to get the hell away, to just leave for once. She didn’t WANTED to be helped at all — and sure as hell didn’t need anyone watching her from a ringside seat as she slowly fades away. “—-enjoying the show?” Her voice was a tad ROUGH; throat still burning. “For real, Lysandra, what the fuck do you want from me? I don’t need a goddamn babysitter && I can’t help your case AT ALL. So, just for once, answer me honestly— what are you still doing here?”
