I completely ignored the man's greeting, "What did you do to her?!"

He smiled, pulled out a bag of marshmallows, and looked out the window, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"You didn't answer my question." I demanded.

"The city?" He nodded.

I glanced out the window and saw the city he was focused on, and directly back at him, "Yeah, great, answer!"

He chuckled, "It's a fun place. Society is constantly moving."

I put my ear up to her head, and to her chest. She was breathing, just under a heavy sleep.

"Alright, who are you?" I asked.

"Don't you wish you could control it?" He continued, and ate a marshmallow.

"Wha..."

He pointed outside, "The world. Don't you wish you could control it?"

"No, sir." I quizzically sat back.

"Pah," he sputtered, "The world is in need of change. Everybody has their fingers on triggers, everyone hardly gets along, everyone wants revenge. I'm quite enthralled with it~"

"...Why?"

He grimaced, "Always something to play with~"

"...!" My eyes widened. I'm his play toy right now!

"Ahah!" He laughed, and popped a marshmallow in his mouth, "You think you figured me out."

"I'm the one you want to play with!" I concluded.

He shrugged, "Granted, that would be nice, but I don't want to play with you~"

Now I'm really confused...

"You're too simple. I could easily take you right now, and you're too much of arrogant fool for my time." He ate another marshmallow, "You're merely a pawn in this game. But pawns forget that if they go to the other side of the board, they can become a queen, the most powerful piece~"

"What are you..." I shook my head, "You forget the pawn can go back to the other side."

"Hahahah~" he cackled, "Only if he can make it~"

Okay, he's officially stopped making sense, "If I'm such an arrogant fool and so easy to take, then why haven't you?"

He grinned wryly, picked me up and pinned me to the ground.

"Ah!" He placed his boot over my shoulder wound and dug in, "AHHHOOWW!"

"Cole-chan~" he relaxed, "You have no idea who you are~ they have no idea who you are~"

"Oh, what, and- HN! -you do?!"

"You could change EVERYTHING! You have great powers beyond your comprehension!" he laughed, "And I want to make use of them~"

"I am not giving you anything!" I attempted to lift his boot off of me.

He leaned down and got closer to my face, while conveniently pinning down my arms in the process, "I'm afraid that's not your choice anymore~"

He put his right hand up to my forehead, and I don't remember seeing this in any mafia movies. It seems like a terrible start to a hor- Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow! Everything in my body was in pain, and I could not move. I felt like I was shutting down, and I was about to lose consciousness.

Damn my mother for not telling everyone to go off. Damn this man for knocking her out. Damn everything! I wish I rejected this stupid trip that got me here in the first place. I wish my somewhat obsession with old mafia movies never got to me. I wish I never met my mother. I wish I was never born! People have died because of me, people whom I don't know and will never know. I wish I wasn't a self indulgent jerk who only thought about himself. I wish I could apologize for everything bad I've done, apologize to the people that fell for me. I wish I could say goodbye.

That was it. Everything went dark.
