Yes, we can. His monster replied. Come on, Hyun-Su. If not today, when?
Never.
His monster sneered.
Hyun-Su gripped the stud that was emerging from a broken wall, its shape a violent thing, as he forced himself to stay.
Hyun-Su.
I can't, okay? Hyun-Su shot back. I have lied, I have murdered, I have... betrayed her in a way. Do you think she'd want this? She wouldn't. I have forgotten her for a while, too, and it's not like I can just-
Yes, you can! His monster said, voice dark and horrifying. I can.
Listen, the rule-
Forget your rule, Hyun-Su.
Before he could react, his monster fought him out of his control and consumed his body and mind. Hyun-Su was thrown at the back of his own mind, at the back of his own being, body rolling down in endless bits of darkness with only his eyes serving as windows to the outside. His monster took the control from him like hungry shadows, each tendril a fierce grasp of force.
Hyun-Su's body was no longer his, and he was forced to sit chained to the darkness and watch through his eyes.
Then, he felt his lips, which weren't his anymore, quirk in a smirk.

The sun's gentle rays filtered through three branches and leaves, painting the cement and grass below them with strokes reminiscent of a master artist's brush. Each leaf and branch became a canvas, decorated with nature's vibrant palette, creating a breathtaking art of light and shadow. Above, the birds sang the melodies of spring and nature, each voice a different octave.
