On the other side of the golden bars was a beautiful boy with broken wings.
On the other side, a girl with the same striking resemblance.
She looks at him with sadness in her eyes, whilst bombarded with echoes of voices that say "set him free"
"You want me, don't you?" He breaks the silence.
"Want?"
"My body. My face. My voice. My Addams Apple"
She gulps; trickles of sweat drips down the side of her face. Because at that moment, she realises that he saw right through her.
From the very beginning; upon laying eyes on him; all she could think about was devouring him.
Becoming one... or perhaps, becoming him.
The moment of epiphany left her standing still - unable to comprehend. Another beat of silence; then a slim hand, smooth as an Angel; reaches out to caress her cheek.
"It's okay," he coos.
"Let me out. Everything will be okay"
"How are you certain?"
"Because you will not be the one devouring, but I."
"But fear not, once I consume all of you, we will become one. You as I and I as you - at balance. We will be reborn"
She yields and unlocks the cage.
The boy steps out, once again reaching out to her. Suddenly, a bright light appears as soon as he does and they merge into one.
A majestic being with full wings, ready for their freedom.
Finally he is free.
Finally... he is one.
