Numbness

Prologue: The First Song

You told me you loved me,

I told you I wasn't sure,

But now I regret

Letting what you had for me

Leave.

Maria stared blankly at the letter that sat in front of her. There was almost no way to take back what she had done.

The song,

The words,

All the beautiful lyrics,

They're all clad

In blood.

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?

The song rang louder on the radio than before. Maria shivered.

WHY DID YOU DIE?

Maria read over what she had written one last time, this time scanning sharply.

WHY DID YOU LET ME KILL YOU?
THIS WAS ONLY OUR FIRST SONG!

Maria bit her lip until she bled. Now she couldn't help but gaze at the apology note to Battler, who now was, gone.
