PERSON 1


'Deity of all, I'm giving back my soul, spare my everything... they're my everything,'


 Person one voiced in her chaotic mind, staring at the raindrops on the glasses of her mansion. She was currently sitting on a rope tied to her sparkling chandelier, it was huge and the center of the mansion. The moment you enter the mansion, that is what you will right away discern, it symbolizes the beauty and wealth of One's family.


Despite the cruelty of time, One is still smiling yet tears was still dripping down. It is gazing at the void, asking the heavens which part of their lives they have been horrible for karma to come back like this. 


"God..." her murmur as the rope loosens and barely fell, she didn't get the chance to wipe those tears, so she hold tighter, "It was never this rigorous before... Our eyes were lighter than the lights of the city before" 


As One danced in the air while the chandelier was swinging, the memory of how her and her friend's eyes were brighter than the city lights that they used to watch from the highest building came back.


She was reminiscing and smiled, "It was beautiful," she voiced like she was watching an ethereal movie, it was the three of them. They had a good story and good experiences together, everything was good, "Two, Three... Look, I'm flying," 


Her smile never fades, "Tomorrow never exists for me anymore," 


She continued to dance in the air with the rope still wrapped around her waist for this time. She was enjoying her time swinging under the chandelier, ignoring the thunders and flashes of lightning.  Just enjoying psithurism, the music of the rain- god damn nice, she thought.


Her eyes started to bleed but that doesn't stop her to smile, "My byes will spare my everything," 


She recalled the time she learned the fate of her beloved, Three, it was unacceptable. No one will dictate a person's farewell to this world, especially to her loved one. If they need a head, she will give her head.


It was raining, even heaven mourns the tragedy of their lives even though they are the ones who did it!!


'DEATH SHOULD BE DONE AFTER HAPPY ENDINGS! WE'RE NOT HAPPY YET! THIS SHOULD NEVER END!' she was mad. 


"But you're worth sacrificing for," she whispered through the air, spreading her arms while swinging with the chandelier flickering.


She closed her eyes, still enjoying the moment. She couldn't deny, she was waiting for any of them. 


'I'll goodbye at any moment, how could they forget about me?' she misunderstood, 'But it's still better,'


She held the rope and feel the wind, "Oh God, I'll be forgotten soon, but I will never forget. Soon as we meet, you have to bow down and kneel. The one who'll apologize will never be us, will never be me,"


They say, all our misfortunes are just a provocation or challenge. But why is death being discussed in the challenge given by God? Was it given by god or the devil? Are they true? Is there really a demon? Is there really a hell?


There is! Unbeknownst to them that there is, but they lack knowledge.


The world is hell! And people are the devil! That's why the one above us is livid at us, we are his enemy... wrong, they are our enemy.



"No, Three loves God. She trusted him, love him, she believes in him. Why am I cursing the one my loves love?"


She doesn't know who or what she's furious with, she's just outraged that she had to destroy herself and leave the one she loves. Why does love need sacrifices? Why are bearing and suffering necessary in love? Why does love hurt?


Person one doesn't quite think that love hurts platonically, she can't quite imagine that love doesn't just hurt romantically. It turns out that love is not only one, it is not only given to one.


"God!" A broken voice came out, "Don't give us light in our eyes, and will also shatter our souls in the end!" 


One's tears flowed with the wind as she swung with the chandelier in the air like a free bird from a suffocating cage.


So this is what it feels like to be free while playing with the wind- not only with the wind, if not with fate as well. It's just like a dream, everything was like a dream.


Everything has consequences, she thought while flying. Even being happy, even being free. Is death really the only way to escape this world? Oh, fate, how cruel, how playful.


The world will bewitch you in the beginning, it will gratify you, play with your feelings, and make you think you're in ecstasy. We have no other choice but to go with the flow of life. 


And the moment you are at ease already with the felicity you feel, you will be crushed like a non-human by them. Precipitously, you will lose your breath and ask for forgiveness even though you did nothing wrong and were just happy.


It's so fucking scary to be happy, the only choice you have was to be in darkness forever. 


No disappointment at the end, everything was predicted, and there was pain, but no surprise. 


"I should have known it before, so I can leave this hell with a genuine smile," One looked outside, it was so dark. 


She smiled, "I want them in peace, I want them happy and safe,"


Hope that her friends are really at peace as she wishes, but no. She is incognizant of what is happening to her beloved companions, such as the reason he sacrificed his life now, Person three.


Three was close to her deathbed too, running with bleeding and broken feet in the viaduct the whole night. 


Who will be the first to be chased by death?
