**\[Following the events of the last post. X and Infinite had come face to face once more... X to save Verosika, HATE to kill infinite and Infinite to stop X and kill him. The battle... it was long, bloody. Heartbreaking. HATE stepped in and transported them... except infinite... somewhere deep in the temple... where no one would find them\]**

**\[The crystal temple is quiet… hanging in gentel silence. Fragments of crystal light flicker faint, along the walls of the temple. The air it feels… heavy. HATE sets them down. Then—without a goodbye—fades into the shadows.\]**

  
Me: **\[barely awake, voice strained and tired\]** We made it.... we almost did it... a stalemate with infinite again **\[I laugh but it comes out as a dying cough. My form glitching ever so slightly\]** Verosika... i'm... sorry for not listening to you... I was scared, scared if I went... it would xause pain... you would die and no one would be able to see you agin 

**\[I look up at the ceiling. It reflects countless timelines\]** countless timelines... limitless possibilities and yet this one was choosen... **\[Drip... drip. Blood slowly drips to the floor\]** My last breaths... used to help my friends... **\[I say this I'm getting out and I scream in pain\]** 

FUCK.... Why, why is it like this... **\[I stare at my hand coated in blood. My blood.... his blood\]** You were right azzy... we are all weak... **\[I slowly move along a hallway\]** I will help them... kill the... kill the king.... **\[I then stop as I'm in so much agony. The pain white hot. I cry... its been so long since i've cried. My eyes burn\]** Why... why won't they let me just have a happy ending... just give me this.

Give me...

My last breaths...

**\[Silence\]**

Please...

**\[I look into the wall. It reflects myself at me... broken\]**
