Judeau's eyes widened in alarm as he saw the vacant expression on the young woman's face. He opened his mouth wide, all thoughts of the dead man behind him completely lost from his mind as he saw Daphne laying in front of him, her dried blood saturating the cloth sheets. "Daphne?" Judeau said in a raspy silent voice. He then snapped out of his trance and grabbed Daphne by the shoulders and began to shake her, trying to wake her up. "Daphne! Wake up!" He yelled at her, her eyes wide open yet moving as he used all the strength in his frail body to move her around the maroon stained mattress.
The sun rose into the sky and bathed the sky in brilliant colors. Judeau had tried to wake up Daphne for over an hour now, his efforts worthless, his attempts meaningless. The girl was gone now, she probably had been gone for a long time. Judeau breathed heavily and his head fell to Daphne's motionless chest. Tears escaped from his eyes, the drops rushing out like small subsidiaries that emptied out into the lake that was his damaged heart. This girl, someone he had barely known for even a week now, had been taken from him, and he felt like the world was going to end at any time.
Taking a deep breath, Judeau slowly rose to his feet, and stared down at the corpse before him. She had been destroyed by the one who had helped her enter this miserable world, just as Judeau failed to save the one that brought him into it. Judeau narrowed his eyes at the corpse, the sorrow he felt towards her now transforming into something else. He clenched his fists tightly into balls and began to shake with stress. Cringing, his eyes shutting closed again, new tears began to pour down his face once more. "Why does everyone leave me!?" He screamed the words as they rang throughout the now morbid farmhouse. The echoes traveled outside and passed the small field, traveling across the spot of land where Judeau and Daphne had spoken the night before. As Griffith was running down the street clutching the newly purchased red luck charm he had gotten from the old gypsy woman, the sound of chaos and anger erupted around him.
