Please give me a life of all my dreams

I sat on the table, chin on my hands intertwined, the dim light above us flickering. In front sat my husband... Ike Eveland, who looks down in guilt?

"My dear..."

I saw him flinch a bit when I called out for him. Why? It shouldn't have been like this. We were happy. We were perfect. So why did you kill me.

"Tell me... why?"

Ike hung his head low, "I... don't know. I was out of my mind and before I knew it you were... dead."

I leaned back onto my chair, "I'm sure you have a reason. I'll wait."

We have nothing left now. Nothing to make us happy and healthy. There's no turning back now. I'm dead and you're alone. We were supposed to have a bright future together... what went wrong?

I look up, reliving the happy memories we had. "Oh, dear gods, despite me having nothing left will you still destroy my towering fantasies?" I thought to myself.

"What went wrong..?"

"I'm sorry I was... really out of it."

"We were happy."

"No, we were ignorant."

My eyes widen. Ignorant? Of what? No, we were perfect.

"Y/n... you've always ignored my pleads. But when we'd joke you'd take it seriously."

My fault? It can't be.

"And now you're dead... we can't fix it."

I only stared at the ceiling in a daze. I don't understand. I got up, dragged my seat, and sat beside Ike. Resting my head onto his shoulder.

"I'd like to see it in your view."

No reply. I held onto his arm and closed my eyes.

I saw it. I felt it. All of Ike's memories and emotions. How he'd fall from happiness to depression. All... because I was ignorant. Reaching for my dream, happiness, an impossible dream.

I opened my eyes in a black void. In front of me stood... me.

"It can't end like this. It can't end like this."

Everything flickered. The bathroom. I am in the bathroom he killed me in. I turn around, processing everything, and met eyes with Ike. But he looked... different. More red and... out of his mind.

I know now.

He loved me. But not truly. He didn't desire the same peace, the same happiness, I dream for.

drip.

"I'm sorry. I have finally realized it is impossible to achieve my dream."

I felt my flower being corrupted, withering every second. Black tears fell from my eye. I look down at the unconscious figure below me.

I killed Ike's spirit.

When? Why? No. I didn't do this. I dropped to my knees, "Ike? What... no I didn't...".

"It shouldn't end like this."

I look up, "Please, give me a life as normal as it can be." Now I have lost it all, nothing left in our Galleria. Why must the tower fall this way?
