Why why why…

He clutches his head in the silence of night, struggling with the shadows trying to escape his head. No no no…

Come come come…

The scream echoes into the dark. His head is pounding.

No!

His soul is ripped apart, wraiths stealing who he is till there is nothing left but death… empty empty empty…

They want him to give in. To let the evil take it, take him, over. Done done done…

Keep going going going…

…don't stop stop stop…

…can't let go go go…

He takes it upon himself to punish himself for his failures.
