"Time never waits,

it delivers all equally to the same end.

You, who wish to safeguard the future,

however limited it may be…

You will be given one year;

Go forth without falter,

With your heart as your guide…"

Daydreaming in the terminal station, the image of a small blue butterfly crosses the mind of a young girl waiting for her train to arrive and take her to her new destination. An eerily large full moon has risen high in the evening sky that fateful night. Though the station was full of noise and buzzing with activity, she couldn't hear a sound outside of her red headphones.

Elsewhere, another young girl struggled for her breath. Gasping for air as she sat on the floor, leaning against her bedside. "I just… put it to my head…" she whispered to herself as a bead of sweat rolled from her blonde hairline down the side of her face, "and pull the trigger." the sound of the dripping sink in her room filled the air, the ambient noise from outside egged her on.

With a hard gulp the teen girl aimed a gun up to her forehead, "no chickening out…" She took several deep and heavy breaths before tossing the gun across the wood floor. "No… I can't!" she cried out, letting her head fall into her now free hands. She folded her legs and pulled then close to her body as if trying to keep herself whole instead of falling apart.
