-----------------------------

He hates his stupid face.

Cold glass reflects his imperfections as he blankly stares; they rendered his left eye mostly useless, and now he's going to finish the job. No more funny looks. Maybe mom and dad will stop complaining.

Sweating and nauseous, he trails the blade across his eyelid. It hurts. Blonde hair sticks to his forehead, and his fingers slip.

Knife, sharp. Cut, stings. Tears, hot.

Down his cheek run blood and saltwater, and he imagines this is what Mars tastes like. The god of war...? He's fighting internal battles.

Ohgodithurts! Make it stop...!

Butters isn't laughing anymore.
