○ I gaze up into the mirror and see myself. Its eyes and mine become one.
○● "It's just me," I say.
○ It's always just been me.
○ I slump to the bathroom floor and weep. I am reminded of what I have become due to this hell and I soon begin to laugh through the tears.

::: "Accept what happened to you and live in content, or enter the void."
○ What's in the void?
:::. "A dream."
○ A dream?
:::: "A dream much like this one, but you will not be able to witness it."

○ I still don't really understand.
;;; "It's alright, you already made the decision upon my suggestion."
○ What?
;;;, "Sleep now, and dream of a better tomorrow, for that is all we can do."
;;;; "Dream, for it will manifest into something tangible, something that can be felt and witnessed. Something... beautiful beyond this failed dream."
