Mikuo shook his head violently, pushing away his thoughts.

'No, even if she is, she's a monster now. And I have to go through with my plan. I won't let everyone die in vain.' He told himself, taking the mirror. The Machine looked up at him, looking genuinely annoyed.

"If I could, I'd so kill you right now~!" she laughed, almost making the King shudder. Shaking it off, his hand slithered from next to him onto her chest, lightly dragging his nails against her skin.

"And why would you do that?" he smiled, his hand going into her toga-like dress. Her breasts shook as he drew circles around her nipples, her breath becoming shuddering gasps.

"B-because…" she trailed off, "Killing is fun. Nobody understands me, so they deserve to die~" the tealette sang, trying to ignore the warm feeling spreading like wildfire through her body. Trailing his fingers around her breast, he felt a beat. Immediately, he froze, his eyes growing large.

'She… she has a heart?' he thought, feeling the rythmatic pulse. 'If she's a machine, how can she have a heart?'

"Hearts for the heartless, words for the silenced, souls for the soulless, lies for the honest, and life for the dead~" she began to sing again, this time humming a tune along with it, "Those without shall have gifts, even when the music comes to an end~,"

"The clockwork music box will turn again, and the cycle of angst and love will be reborn. This will go on for eternity, so those who lack will find what they long~" Mikuo joined in, their voices making the perfect harmony.

"Hearts for the heartless, words for the silenced, souls for the soulless, lies for the honest, and life for the dead…" the soft voice drifted through Mikuo's window, making his eyes snap open. Jumping out of his bed, he tiptoed to the large window, leaning out. Then he saw her.

A girl of his age was perched on one of the tiers of the castle, her hair moving slowly in the silent breeze. She was wearing all-black, seeming like more of a silhouette than a person.

"Those without shall have gifts, even when the music ends~ The clockwork music box will turn again, and the cycle of angst and love will be reborn. This will go on for eternity, so those who lack will find what they long~" and as quickly as the soft voice came, the girl disappeared in a flourish, her wind chime voice dying out.

Mikuo stood speechless in the window, his teal eyes wide.

'Am I dreaming? Or did…' he looked directly at where the girl was, 'that actually happen?'

"Your hand is in my shirt~" the Machine's voice brought the King back, making him jump. Indeed, his hand was right where he left it, outstretched over her left breast.

"…There's a reason for that." He managed a smile, remembering the girl he saw that night. Was that the missing girl? Better yet, was the Machine the quiet girl who had disappeared all those years ago? If so, why did she come back for that one moment, then melt into the night?

"Really?" she cooed, running her tongue across her teeth.

"Do you want me to show you?"
