I lost the internet connection for a few days so I apologize if it took me this long. And in this story, Hela is not Loki's child. In my opinion, they are but boys and boys still, as Odin had told Laufey once. These are but actions of a boy. Treat them as such. Therefore Loki is still somewhat young. At least in my opinion.

Enjoy everyone, thank you for the lovely reviews.


oOo

My skin was my sin.

In that moment, Loki had realized that it seemed like a curse more than a blessing. To him, there were no blessings, for everything that had happened to him, seemed to fall into a cursed life. A bitter hole that he long since fell into and had been trying for so long to crawl his way out.

"Be careful who you love." Loki thought. "Because one day, you might regret ever loving them."

He loved too much and in return been broken. Life was not easy and he had just stepped into his own kind of Hel. Never to return from it until someone who had the strength could get him out.

However.

He was still waiting.

A horror that spread through a web of lie cast by everyone around him. That cold air that immediately surrounded the room when Helblindi took a stand. Everyone had gone silent and the world around seemed to have stopped momentarily.

It waited and it watched.

Loki did the same as the world spun, and that chill of fear crowded his mind. It blocked his other thoughts and focused on one at a time.

Solving and answering it as best as he could.

He was already at his breaking point and a few more he would literally snap, but he held it for so long. He had done so in hopes of receiving justice, life and a new chance.

He wished he would be able to get it.

He had put it off for so long and he desperately wished to take a stand and speak for himself despite his trouble with his insanity. However there was nothing to fear, or at least that was what Loki tried to convince himself of.

It did not work.

"Asgardians." Helblindi crept forward and called.

Everyone watched.

"Let this be a lesson that we Jotuns do not like being lied to!"

True was his words and Loki agreed to his every word of it, for he too himself, was a Jotun.

Although he would not truly admit it, he knew and he would not deny that fact. Admittance over acceptance. He would rather accept than admit it because in truth, he dared not speak it out.

Humiliation.

Monsters.

Fear.

Loki's eyes traced the patterns on Helblindi's skin and could almost feel the coldness that surrounded as the man crept closer. Loki swallowed in fright but held his ground as he sat there; eyes unwavering.

"Born in shame." Loki's thoughts told him as he watched. "Always thriving on chaos."

Pale Blue and Ruby red eyes that watched him, waiting for him to screw up if he must and Loki knew that Helblindi would do something to reveal that fear. He knew and he did not do anything to stop it because keeping the secret won't help.

They would have eventually found out by other means.

Loki knew the moment Helblindi laid eyes on him, he would not stop until he reached the truth.

Perhaps they had that both in common, seeing to it as Helblindi was family. Or at least the family Loki never wanted, all thanks to Odin.

"My real brother." Loki thought bitterly. "Do you know who I am? Do you hate that I killed your father? Our father?"

Helblindi strode forward and pulled him up by his neck.

Hatred.

It was not enough to choke him and kill him, but it was enough to put distance between him and the ground. Loki struggled in panic because that was what a long time of torture would do to you.

Body trauma.

He fought.

Loki did not notice his change from pale Aesir skin to Jotun blue and from his radiant green eyes to crimson red ones.

His reason was because he could not help but stare at his real brother, who was showing him to the world and tarnishing his good name in front of all of Asgard.

Before in the beginning of this trial he was called...

Odinson.

And when this trial ends, it is time for him to turn into the one they would hate, despise and call...

Laufeyson.

"W-what do you want?" His breath hitched and his body shook.

He wished to question it.

Helblindi watched Loki as he continued to stare into his eyes. Red into red. Blood against blood. Loki had felt the wave of coldness hit him and had gotten back to his senses. The moment he noticed his blue fingers digging on Helblindi's hand, it was that very moment realization had struck him.

For a moment, he believed it as a nightmare.

But it was all real.

Loki ignored the world, in hopes that they would understand. He looked back at Helblindi's piercing red eyes and saw the softness in his real brother's gaze and the fingers on his neck loosened a little bit which caused Loki to question the situation more.

"My father, Laufey's, accusations of you were true." Helblindi laughed. "You truly are a thief, All-father."

Everyone else in the audience couldn't move, in fear of what might happen. The Avengers and the Aesir's together watched as Helblindi continued what he was doing. He spoke but did not let go and they were helpless to do so, for it is part of the rules.

"Touch me not, Asgardians." He turned to them, still holding Loki by the neck.

"What are you up to?" Thor wondered.

"I am still following the rules of your trial and your trial allows actions towards the prisoner." Helblindi smirked. "It would be best if you do not cause unintentional war."

"He is right." Odin knocked his sphere on the ground, twice.

"Father!" Thor protested.

"It is time for truth and we have sworn to truth." He told his son. "Who are we to disobey those rules which we ourselves had made?"

Everyone else who stood, sunk back down to their seats and the guards resumed their posts. They all continued to watch the scene unfold, as they payed their respects to the new King of Jotunheim. He had something he wished to say, and they weren't about to ruin it.

It was only a matter of time before this trial ends. If only there were rules to vengeance, how easy would it have been to follow and act on.

"I am not blind to suspicions." Helblindi said.

"You have given stories about him but your tongues are all tied. And your mentions of a runt with your council! You left a mark and I had dug into to it. You're not as intelligent as you think to hide such secrets from us. We Frost Giants aren't dumb as you think."

"Intelligent?" Loki glared, he truly did not want to be associated with them. "If so, you hardly use them in battle. You're no different from the Aesir either."

Loki had enough.

"You've proven your point about me." Loki got his voice back. "This is rather uncomfortable and I would like to be put down. Then I'll be off your hands and you could continue your speech. Unless you wish to keep on carrying me throughout your speech, so be it."

Loki glared and Helblindi glared back.

Brothers.

Loki did not want to admit that he had notice a lot of similarities between him and Helblindi.

"Suit yourself." He growled and tossed Loki back to his seat.

"Ow..." Loki whimpered and cradled his body because of the bruise down his spine.

The blue on Loki's skin did not in any way reside. It remained there for all to see and Loki wasn't sure why Helblindi's touch kept him in Jotun form but he had theories.

Was it because he was family?

Loki stayed silent for a while, pondering on what to say and left Helblindi to do the talking instead.

"I would have the truth, All-father." Helblindi continued. "We have come down to Loki's petty crimes and his acts of aggression and hatred towards your people, mine and others. I want to know why you have a Jotun as a son. If he truly is, even yours."

Odin stayed silent, refusing to speak.

"Byleistr." Helblindi turned to another Jotun, with the same patterns as he. "My younger brother."

"What's going to happen now, Thor?" Steve asked as he turned to him. "This wasn't what we were all expecting."

"It's like we're screwed on so many levels." Tony shook his head.

"I know, my friends. None had expected this. I had thought he had other motives but it is clear that he had done some digging. He has his suspicions before."

"Are you going to confirm it?" Clint raised an eyebrow.

"I know not if my Father will entertain his suspicions"

"Damn, here I thought we were done." Tony huffed. "I can't tell if he's on the good side or the bad."

"He seems to be playing it rather fairly if I may say. He has treated my brother rather nicely than I expected. Helblindi means to dig further, I know not where this will go."

Thor narrowed his eyes to Loki and thought.

"Stay strong Loki."

Loki tried to scratch at his skin, to make the blue go away and it would not. No matter how he rubbed at it, it would not leave. Loki was forced at a stalemate and left there for others to watch like the freak that he was. He continued to scratch but the action itself tired him.

"And here I thought my troubles had ended." He regrettably thought.

"My brother will stand and speak with me." Helblindi growled.

"We have but one case of a runt in Jotunheim and all knows of it." Byleistr began. "Laufey's son. The one and only runt that was born into the royal family. No more was he but a babe during the great battles before. Hidden from war and only to be found gone without a trace!"

"And his disappearance forced us to wonder." Helblindi continued for him. "Had he died or had he survived? Little did we know, this is where it lead to."

"It lead to chaos, war and trickery." Loki muttered to himself and none had heard him. "Madness even."

"What do you know!?" One of the councilmen shouted. "You are nothing but monsters! You know no knowledge of the truth-"

"Silence!" Odin shouted and almost everyone flinched at the loudness of his voice.

"Apologies, All-father."

"We have made mistakes already!" The King spoke. "I would not have another and certainly not from the council. We respect each others speeches and we speak nothing but the truth. Each have we all, sworn a truce. Continue with your words, Frost Giants."

"You will confirm them, would you not?" He glared, just like Laufey had once done. "Our questions and suspicions?"

"Perhaps it is time that we settle difference." Odin raised his chin, proudly.

"Indeed we should."

"Speak out Helblindi and Byleistr, sons of Laufey. We are all intrigued with such a discovery, do not let it hang further. And perhaps then, we would all get the conclusion we want."

"Thief." Helblindi growled.

"Now do not say such-"

"You stole Loki from us, did you not?" Helblindi angrily said. "There are many reasons we could prove that he is truly a Jotun and son of Laufey. The patterns he possess are of royalty and he is the runt of our family. This is no mere illusion."

"And an illusion it is not." Odin confirmed. "You speak what your eyes see."

"That still means you stole him."

"He was abandoned and dying!" Frigga declared from the side. "Odin took him for-"

"For a purpose." Loki looked up and said.

His tiny blue form sat there on the chair for all to see. Helblindi's gaze softened and so did Byleistr, it had been so long since they have seen the young one and all thought he had died in war.

Tragically forgotten and all had mourned and spoke not of it.

They did not know why they had done so, however, despite that; they were forced to address Loki in a manner that would probably make them look and seem soft.

For the two brothers knew that sitting there was a broken god...

No.

A broken Jotun which was also their younger brother.

"Little one, do not speak further for this is our battle for your head." Helblindi was interrupted. "You do not wish to complicate things further."

"When have they not been complicated?" Loki bitterly thought as he looked away.

"No. Let the pathetic runt speak." Askr chuckled.

"You again. You have been getting on our nerves lately." Byleistr hissed, taking a stand next to Helblindi.

"What do you want to say at such a time?" His older brother asked.

"You have interrupted me before, I say I must do the favor. Maybe Loki would enlighten us and add to this scuffle. He had lied so many times so what is the point in hearing him lie again? But this time, this is the truth. Yes? My guess is because he's a Frost giant and you have all inherited the skill so well to pass it down."

Askr scoffed.

"You are all but petty liars and frauds."

"You dare mock us, Asgardian!" Byleistr shouted. "I would have you know it is our turn to speak for our realm!"

"Not only that but you are foolishly making yourself seem like the guilty one in this." Helblindi laughed and so did the audience.

"You pathetic Giants-"

"Askr. Enough." Odin said. "Let them speak."

"Let Loki speak." Helblindi hissed. "I wish to know- We all- wish to know."


oOo

Loki still hated the Frost Giants but he hated the council more than them at the moment. Loki pushed aside everything else in his mind in order to speak out in this trial.

He did not want to look so pathetic and helpless in his own trial.

He was Loki!

And he was named Silver-tongue for a reason, he just had to speak!

"The royal family and the council knew of my heritage." Loki began before anyone could stop him. "And only recently had Thor and the warriors been told, and that includes the Avengers. Thanks to Thor."

He glared at them all, as he interrupted Helblindi and his brother, knowing that he would be allowed to speak. With the freedom he was given, he continued.

"They took me for a purpose to reunite Jotunheim and Asgard." He laughed bitterly. "It would have worked had they acted sooner and not let all this chaos ensue. Though I must admit that the people here were so gullible enough to be manipulated. It was all fun, really. But it was all thanks to Thor for waging war against Jotunheim with his acts alone, because of that travel, I had found out the truth. And the lies to go with it."

"Who's side is your brother on?" Tony annoyingly snorts at the idea.

"This would not have happened had you not let the Frost giants in Prince Thor's coronation!" One Aesir from the crowd shouted.

"It was your fault to begin with!" Another shouted.

"How could I not?" Loki chuckled darkly. "He would have wrecked Asgard with his first rule had he been turned into the King! You would all see your downfall had that happened."

"He's screwing things up." Clint muttered.

"And you think you could have ruled better!" Honir growled. "You harmed those who were close to you and you do not even belong anywhere! You're but a runt with no family and no one to care for him! You acted on jealousy and hatred!"

"Despite him being a runt, he is still of Jotun blood and of royal blood as well." Helblindi confirmed. "You stole him from us and the destruction of our land was because of it!"

"You would have killed him had you not known!" Councilman Ining shouted. "Now you are defending him?"

"Who's on whose side?!"

Tony would almost shout had it not been for Natasha and Clint being right next to him, preventing him from doing so. Tony didn't need to add more to the problem.

If they wanted to win this then they would see the opportunity for later.

"You were against him moments ago!" Askr shouted as he backed his fellow councilmen. "For his destruction on your land! You should not blame Asgard for his acts of treason!"

"No." Byleistr chuckled. "Not at all."

"It is all the more reason why we should blame Asgard." Helblindi grinned.

"What are you talking about?" Frigga alarmingly questioned.

"Had you not taken the babe from us, this would not have happened. You stole the one thing that protected our land, the Casket of Ancient Winters and not only that but you also stole royalty. You mean to prove him abandoned. It was war."

"He was abandoned in the temple." Odin said. "I took him because I could not leave a child to die."

"He wouldn't have died!" One Jotun guard shouted.

"He is right." Byleistr confirmed. "He was hidden in the temple and away from war! He was kept there to be retrieved later on!"

"I don't understand." Bruce scratched his head. "Why are they so defensive on Loki's taking?"

"I thought they really abandoned him." Steve breathed. "Wasn't that your story?"

"Perhaps my father was wrong." Thor frowned. "I know not but... perhaps Loki had not been abandoned. Perhaps our perception on the Frost giants had always been wrong. And it was because of our hatred that the stories had escalated and we misunderstood them completely. Our relationship with the frost giants had never been tried before nor acted upon in such a way."

"It's no wonder they hate your guts." Natasha rolled her eyes. "You all started this between each other."

"Is that why they are angry?" Fandral raised an eyebrow. "Is it because Loki was taken from them?"

"And here we had all thought he was forgotten." Hogun muttered. "We were wrong. He was wanted and kept from the war. We believed because of his height that he was not wanted. We justified the matter on our eyes alone."

"This story has gotten... stranger." Sif huffed. "And I fear for war, still."

"At least we are knowing the truth. Better it than war." Volstagg nodded and so did Hogun.

"This is vital information. Blood between bond, my friend."

The court room became heated with argument and soon there was no stopping them from the lust and desire to win in this trial. The trial seemed forgotten as it turned into far more personal issues.

"No wonder Loki was different from the Aesir." Freyr smiled. "He is Jotun."

"Does it bother you that he is?" Karnilla grinned.

"Not at all. It makes things more interesting." He chuckled. "I had my suspicions before when Loki frequently visited Alfheim. However, I trusted Loki's actions and never pressed it further."

"How kind of you." Hela's lips formed a thin line.

"Why not?" he smiled. "We held no anger for Frost Giants."

"And why is that?" Karnilla wondered.

"We welcome them openly, and they are not truly savage people."

Freyr looked at Loki, who sat there, staring.

"They are intelligent, cunning and superior in strength underneath all of that rough exterior. They are not really what others think them to be. Which brings us to Loki."

"If only we settle differences." Hela smirked. "Perhaps things would have been different."

The defendants and oppositions blared in full battle in their words.

"You blindly try to pass off a royal Jotun as your own for your selfish purposes!" Helblindi hissed. "You are no closer to saints and more to monsters with your acts! You Asgardians think your slates are clean when they are clearly not. Your mistakes cost you, All-father. My father was right to hate your kind!"

"Peace was the goal." Odin stayed firm. "That was the only goal."

"And where has it lead you now?" Helblindi pointed at Loki. "Do you not see the broken creation you pass off as your son? Is this peace? Before you are the leaders of the realms and your people, in Loki's trial. You think this is what you call peace?"

He had a point.

"He killed our father because of you."

"His actions-"

"His real father! His actions were because of you." Helblindi pressed. "And you had ruined his image of his real people! You made him hate us to the point where he would kill his entire race! The destruction that was caused on us was great!"

"I had only done what others would have when they see a child!" Odin stood up in anger. "He was alone and I could not leave a child helpless and hurt. I am a father myself and would not leave a child during war!"

"He was hidden from war!" Helblindi shouted back.

"He was clearly abandoned!"

"We would have all returned to him!"

"When he is dead?" Odin blared.

"Our father would have returned!"

"By then it would have already been too late! I did what I could and things were better off that way!"

"Byleistr and I were young and were not yet for war." Helblindi told them. "We hid elsewhere so that none would find us. Father had refused to let us near war and so, we took and hid Loki."

"Loki had been left in the temple for it is sacred and none would attack it." Byleistr continued. It was also far from the field of battle. You however, were a different case! You are nothing but liars, thieves and murderers! And you stole our younger brother!"

With this argument Loki had shut off from the world.


oOo

Loki felt his body slump forward in a wave of tiredness. He just wanted it all to end and yet things were adding up more and more. Eternity was catching up and Loki did not like it. Loki wanted to cry and show it to the world but a part of himself did not wish to do that.

He still has that ego and dignity that he wanted to protect and hold close, at least to share that familiarity once more but his emotions were mixing and ever so wavering.

It confused him so much.

His skin still felt cold and he still felt so distance with all of them. Loki's body continued to remain blue and his eyes red and he felt like a freak, still. And now, they were fighting over him and it confused Loki time and time again.

What was the truth and what was the lie?

Loki couldn't think and his mind was all but a blur.

He was abandoned left to die, Laufey's son. And now, Helblindi and Byleistr, his so called brothers, claimed he was wanted and they would have returned for him amidst the fiasco of war.

Thoughts swirled inside of Loki's head.

He did not know what was real anymore and what was not.

It confused him.

"We still consider him family!" Frigga shouted. "He is my son! And he will always be my son!"

"He is Laufey's son!" Byleistr told them. "He is royalty and he is Jotun. He belongs to us!"

"Loki is MY BROTHER!" Thor stood up from the crowd.

"HE IS OURS!"

"He is of Asgard!"

"He is the prince!" The warriors joined in.

"He is prince!" Byleistr said. "But of JOTUNHEIM!"

"ASGARD!" Thor shouted back.

"Thor, that is enough!" Frigga scolded.

"He belongs in Jotunheim with us!" Helblindi cornered.

"You do not hold custody over him anymore." Askr began. "He is our prisoner!"

"Stop it Askr, Thor! You are making things worse!" Odin turned to Helblindi. "Loki has long since been raised in Asgard! He is with us! And he is my son!"

"He is our YOUNGER BROTHER!" Helblindi growled. "AND SON OF LAUFEY!"

"I WILL NOT REPEAT MYSELF!" Odin slammed gungnir on the ground and the crowd went wild.

Fear.

Pain.

Suffering.

It was a constant reminder of Loki's place and Loki wanted to shut away from it. He wanted to curl himself on the chair and wish for death but no answer would call back for him.

Loki watched as royalty battled royalty with words.

He watched as the mortals stared into the feud and the crowd sitting there still and dead to the world, whispering and talking of him. How Loki hated it all so much.

He felt... forgotten.

Everyone had begun shouting profanities and other horrible things at each other. The room was a riot and it pained Loki to see them all this way. Trials such as these always ends up with death and peaceful agreement but this was insane.

More insane than him.

And it had to stop.

And Loki...

He had enough.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!" Loki stood up and shouted to all of them. "I AM STILL IN THIS ROOM!"

Silence.

"YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND FIGHT ALL YOU WANT BUT THIS IS MY TRIAL!" Loki turned to all of them. "AND I WISH TO END IT AS FAST AS IT COULD BE ENDED BUT YOU ARE ALL PROLONGING MY FATE!"

And the silence inside the room seemed to have stuck.

Even Helblindi was struck with Loki's words but he felt the need or rather wanted to fix this so he kept his mouth shut.

"Are you all so daft as to let your emotions get the better of you!?" Loki laughed, unsure of what he was saying. "You talk about me as if I am not in this room! What do you want from me!? WHAT IN HEL'S NAME DO YOU WANT?!"

"Loki-" Frigga reached out.

"Stay away from me!" Loki backed away. "I am TIRED of dealing with all of you! IF YOU WANT ME DEAD THAN JUST SAY SO!"

Sentimentality never did do them any favors.

"Loki, nobody wishes you dead." Frigga's words wavered. "We care for you!"

But this seemed like a time to speak out their words no matter how ridiculous it may seem or not.

"You may but the others don't." Loki shook his head. "My life doesn't even mean anything!"

"Don't say that Loki, we all care for you!" Thor said. "We wouldn't be here otherwise."

"Again with the lies. Why can't all of you be honest for once?" Loki choked. "You're all just here to see me burn! To watch me fall. Make an agreement on what you wish to do to me and be done with it! I am tired of this! I am tired of this world! All of it!"

"Brother do not say that!" Thor shouted.

"DO NOT CALL ME BROTHER!" Loki bit back, tears formed again. "I WAS NEVER YOUR BROTHER! AND I HATE YOU FOR NOT COMING TO SEE ME AFTER I ALMOST BEGGED FOR YOU TO COME GET ME FROM THAT WRETCHED CELL! SO DON'T EVER TELL ME YOU CARE!"

"He's so unstable." Coulson said under his breath.

"This is just.." Steve couldn't find the right words.

"Damn it." Tony tried to stop himself.

"Calm down." Bruce pinched his nose. "It's okay. It's good. It'll be better soon."

"I- I didn't know he was this hurt." Clint whispered. "And so... angry."

"Neither did I." Natasha looked away.

"NONE OF YOU EVER CARED!" Loki cried out. "YOU ALWAYS BLAME ME FOR THE THINGS I NEVER TRULY ACTED UPON AND AT TIMES YOU DO PUNISHMENTS MORE THAN WHAT I DESERVE! IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL LOVE, BROTHER?! Is that LOVE?!"

"Loki you were told by Sif! By Mother!" Thor pleaded. "I could not because-"

"When has rules ever stopped you?!" Loki questioned him harshly. "When have you ever played by the rules! It was always your way. YOUR WAY! And where was I in all of that! I WAS NOWHERE! I was long gone before you could ever reach out to me!"

"Loki, please."

"What!? You want to beg me to stop! I'm done! And it is my turn to speak!" Loki said wholeheartedly. "I've kept my mouth shut in respect to all of the kings and queens inside this court and your guests! But I am through with such formality! And yet there was NO formality to begin with."

"Loki you must-" Helblindi stepped forward.

"AND STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Loki turned to him, his body still blue. "I may be your blood brother, but there is no bond formed! I don't trust any of you! And I NEVER WILL!"

"Listen to your actions Loki!" Odin said. "You are speaking out of anger and hurt!"

"And how could I not? I played fairly in all of your games so why can I not do something for myself for a change?"

"You are acting rashly and not thinking, boy!"

"And you are no better!" Loki turned to him in disgust. "You think your actions give you glory?"

"Loki do not say that." Frigga warned but was ignored.

Loki kept going.

"I highly doubt that you're proud of the mistakes you've done, All-father! You hide them in your lust of power and honor, but you're no better! You do not know the truth! You think you know everything about me! YOU NEVER DID RAISE ME PROPERLY!"

"And what is the truth?" Honir questioned.

"Wouldn't you like to know!?" Loki glared and hissed at him.

"That is enough!" Askr stepped forward. "You're the prisoner and we should not listen to you!"

"AND WHY IS THAT?! Is it because you fear me for what I had already done to others and you think I might do it to you? Is that it? You've all been a nerve in my life for as long as I could remember! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!"

He pointed at the council.

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH! And you call yourselves the council! You manipulate more than I do and you think yourselves worthy to be in the position you are in! You're all but cowards hiding by the title you were given! You're the ones who are pathetic!"

"You're just a FROST GIANT who's a runt!" Councilman Ining retorted.

"So what if I am!?" Loki countered. "That does not change my time here in Asgard nor will it change what I am! I am LOKI!"

"That is enough." Odin slammed his sphere to the ground. "We've heard enough."

"All-Father." Helblindi's voice growled silently.

"We will have a short break to sort this out." Odin said. "And we will hear Loki."

Many protested with the All-father but it was all dismissed as the King walked away and the council followed behind. They were also shoved by the king and it seemed like he wanted to be alone for a short while.

Loki was left there standing, his breathing hard and heavy. Loki was so ready to cry at that moment and he wasn't even sure what he had just said.

He just had enough.

He was so tired that his actions took over him, without a thought and it worried Loki so much that he was losing control of him self. It scared him. Loki began to shake as he embraced himself in a tight hug. He watched the ground as he began to think things through on what he wanted to say.

But a single thought came to his mind.

He wasn't ready.


oOo

TBC...

I had a hard time creating this chapter and it took me a few days to do. I took the time of not having the internet connection to do my research on what to put in it. And I managed to do half of it until last night, everything seemed to spill out of my head.

This chapter is intense. I feel chills.

Please tell me what you think. Thank you.
