Like a piece of trash the crumbled and battered body of Len was hurled back into the cell. His eyes are both black; a large bleeding gash is just bellow his hairline, cuts and burn marks like his arms. He is destroyed utterly, but somehow he stands and drags his limp and bloody body over to the wall.
"M-m-i…ku?" He mutters, barely audible.
"LEN!" He hears screamed. He hears the thumps of her palms smacking onto the wall.
"Are you okay! Len! Len!"
As if his name itself was a life preserver, Miku began to repeat it over and over again. The word itself was her new reason to live.
"I… I can't anymore." She says suddenly silent.
Len chuckles. "You can't? Take it from the guy with the bullet in his foot, that motion is seconded utterly without a doubt."
She is silent for a long time. On the other side of the wall lies the tealete, her head resting on the wall, both of her hands balled into fists. Surprisingly, she isn't crying, but silently brewing something over. Considering a thought very thoroughly.
"Miku?" Len asks with most of his strength back.
"…Len. What if… there was a way… to end it?"
"Miku…?"
"…they can't kill us but…"
"NO!" Len screams at her. But the girl doesn't jump.
"… what if we can kill ourselves?"
"Miku, no. No way in hell." Len hisses through clenched teeth.
"…think about it. Pain free forever… no more crying or pain…"
"Miku NO!"
The girl rises causing her long teal hair to spill from on top of her shoulders like a pool of water flooding. Her bare footsteps sound silent as she moves to her bed, picking up the sheets. Len's calls are distant now, her own mind blocking them away as she works her mindless task. Fastening her carriage to death.
Len pounds on the wall, screaming at her to stop. Not that he has any idea what will really happen. He doesn't want her to do this to herself.
"Miku this isn't right! Stop it! There is so much out there in the world that is unknown to you! So many endless adventures! So many things you haven't gotten to experience, don't just throw that away!
The sunlight on your skin! The feel of warmth after rain! Miku please! There is so much! So much you don't know yet! Don't do this! Don't you long for the warmth of sun? Miku please this isn't the answer! More pain won't solve anything! DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF!"
His words were floating out of her ears. Not reaching her. As she steps on top of the coffee table and places the noose around her neck she gazes out of the window to see nothing but storm clouds and endless sheets of rain.
"Warmth after the rain huh…"
"MIKU!"
~~~X~~~X~~~
A blonde girl sits slumped against a window, gazing at her reflection in the glass. She isn't happy with what she sees. This only angers her more.
"Len…" She trails off.
With a new wave of desire she stands and throws herself into the stone door, pounding her fists on it.
"Come on! Open it so I can kick your asses!" She screams at the top of her lungs. No one seems to hear or care.
"Yeah screw you too!" She says with a kick to the door.
She walks away and back to the window.
"Where are you Len…? I wanna get the hell out of here."

Len hadn't heard a word from Miku a while. But he did hear the sickening noise of her body throwing itself into the noose, and the horrible coughing and sputtering she made after that. She must have blacked out.
He sits silently in thought.
Thought about the whole situation and every question he could think of. Suddenly an idea hits him.
If Miku was on this side of the wall then Rin… Without a second thought Len runs, throwing himself onto the other wall making a loud echoing thump.
"HELLO!" He screamed.
Someone heard his voice, but not who he expected.
"Hello! Please if someone is there say something!"
Inside the endless darkness that lied behind the wall sat a shadow of a human, with their head resting on their knees and their hands wrapped around their rail thin legs.
They, however, shrugged the voice off as just another trick of their imagination.
"Please! My name is Len! Is there anyone there!"
"Len… that's a name… I couldn't imagine on my own." A quiet female voice like a whisper says.
It was barely loud enough for Len to hear.
"Come over to the wall so I can hear you better!"
"…wall? How do I know where the wall is in the darkness, voice?"
"Darkness what are you- wait, you're in the dark? Then… just move to the sound of my voice."
"Sound… of… your voice…" The figure crawls on all fours like a blinded cat over to the wall, and presses her check against the cold stone. "Hello Len-voice."
"Can you tell me your name?"
"… Mama says I'm not suppost 'ta talk to people."
"I want to know your name." The hopeful blonde boy asks.
"I'm sorry… I have no name." A girl with long, almost-white hair whispers to Len from her endless cell of darkness.

Miku picks herself up off of the floor, her hands touching her throbbing neck gently.
"Ow." She whispers to herself as she rubs the red marks.
Glancing up she sees the sunlight spill in from in between the grey clouds just outside her window. She sees cars drive by and children on their phones and playing with each other not to far away either.
A lone blue butterfly lands on the window pane, unfurling its wings.
"The warmth after the rain…" She says with a smile.
