... If the Prince felt otherwise, maybe for once, he'd follow me. Try to stop me. Overpower me. Prove his worth. . . . Because I'm already in the dark. / // //// // / (* Kris went silent.)

I'm not going alone. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 are guiding me. The same 𝘆𝗼𝘂 I once knew. The 𝘆𝗼𝘂 that caused all that pain and strife. Even if it wasn't here... I was still so, so much stronger because of 𝘆𝗼𝘂. And now I was following your lead. As I was always designed to be. Who cares about a broken cage.

... Never deep enough to kill. But standing up might. After all, once I'm up. It only takes a handful of steps, before my feet get wet, my body shivers with cold, and I once again hear the chant. . . . Deeper and deeper we go. Until my feet can't touch the floor. Until breath loses hold.

There is no one in the world right now. Beyond this pathetic little thing. Bleeding out on the side of a lake. And you? You could have stopped me. And you have the gall to hate me? To pretend you don't hate me? This is why I let it hate you.

... You really see it all. The only reason I'm not already gone from blood loss... is because I know time only passes if we "let" it. So I'm just waiting here. To see if anything will happen. . I already don't remember what I said.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

This is just me waiting for the end. Doing whatever the hell I can in the meantime. While I'm still detached from reality enough to speak like this.

I'm not wasting time. I'm killing time. Until my head finally feels woozy from the blood loss. Then I'm going to walk forward, and see what happens. That's the thing; I did the deed an hour ago. My wrists are red. A practiced visceral gesture forever stuck in my head.

It's not about guilt. I just hate looking at you. It's what I would do. Always do. It's what 𝘆𝗼𝘂 would do. Not you, the person I'm talking to, 𝗬𝗼𝘂. The one silently watching this conversation happen. And 𝘆𝗼𝘂 know me better than I know myself, right? So why fight it anymore. This is all I am.

...Doubt I'll get that chance, though. I get the feeling I won't be around much longer. Thanks for admitting it outright, though. "Too late for you." Sounds of a mumble on the wind. No one else seems to want to tell me the truth.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I want to kill you. And I easily could. Now that there isn't anything holding me back. I wanted to "make things better." Pretend that I wasn't the exact thing my nightmares said I would be. But, there's no real purpose in denying that "me." I've already killed once. It's nothing.

A personality to difficult for you, maybe? A terrified child eager to run away from the mirror, so desperate to be left alone despite it's obvious pain that you simply conceded them to their fate? You're just another one of many to blame.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

You're late. Haven't you realized that yet? Oh, I suppose you have. That's why you moved on from me so quick, isn't it? You saw me for the damaged goods that I was, utterly devoid of SOUL, no longer a victim tormented but a vessel well-used and discarded. Or was it just my fear that made you run?

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Oh, good, you can read the unreality parts of this. I don't need to waste any breath. Not that I'll need any soon. Did you ever ask if anyone needed your help? Wanted it? Or do you just arrive and decide which pretty little broken thing most deserves it. What have you actually accomplished?

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Prevent what? "What'd you prevent?" You've done such a great job at that so far, haven't you? Stopping things from getting worse.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

"I hope you drowned." That's what it would say. Who am I to disagree? I don't even know what I'm doing here. Shouting into the sea. A pointless endevour. The dead can't hear me.

000

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Did you let go? Did I let go? Does anyone know? I don't. "...'m just talking to the waves."

000

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

You lost it when you tried to see too far. Why'd I keep living?

000

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

You're alive beneath those waves. And you can hear me. Can't you? "...Even though 'm not talking."

000

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Respond. I know you can hear me, even as I stand so far away unspeaking. Respond.

I keep myself moving forwards. Step after step. Walking in an unfailing straight line, towards the destination which lingers faithfully in the back of my mind. Road turns to grass. Grass turns to dirt. Dirt turns to gravel. Gravel turns to sand. Again, I find myself here. The lake of my end.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I don't believe in anything. "...Not even myself." Because there's nothing to believe in.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

All you've done is help me regain my voice, in the end. All you've done...

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Time is such a funny thing. Years outside, days inside. How did it all work? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 can come to that conclusion on your own. I'm not here to do your dirty work anymore.

100

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Speak aloud inside my own head. Where no one but those who know how to see past the veil dare tread. How long had it been since I could think like this? ...Funny part, only a matter of days.

𝙽𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙽𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚍𝚢. @brokenstilllocked.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Not that it mattered much in the end. I should thank the Prince, really. I should thank that terrible future for a dead bird too. They helped me remember what I really was. What I've always been. They helped me remember how to "speak."
