Mario the Music box fan story

Part 4

Mario: I'm so bored.. Riba has been gone forever... *He decided to go check up on Riba, abandoning the bed and blanket. He was just about to go downstairs when he saw a strange, suited man standing near the bookshelves...* Who are you...?

?: I hope your proud of yourself...

Mario: Wh-what?

?: Remember me, Alice?

Mario: Wh... (Auk... My head...)

?: You despicable human being.

Mario (Alice): Shut up!

Mario: auk!

?: You're an absolute waste... can't even control that witch inside you.

Mario: L-leave me alone! I have to get out of here...! *He tried to bolt downstairs, but a force shoved him back* Nononoono.... *He saw the man near the entrance of the bedroom, approaching him again* 

?: To put it simple, you're a failure... You failed to protect all the people in your life that you loved. You killed them in cold blood. 

Mario: I-it wasn't my fault! *His head was starting to hurt even more.*

*The man vanished... but Mario had this sudden tugging feeling to go into the bedroom... And to his horror, he saw the bodies of the princess and his brother, stacked up cruelly, yet in the same position they died.*

Mario: N-no! *His head felt like it was on fire.* I didn't kill them! I didn't do it!

?: But you did. Stop trying to pin the blame on others, just because you couldn't control that witch doesn't mean it wasn't your own fault. 

Mario: *sob* urgh....

?: You killed our brother in two lives... I gave you a second chance to redeem yourself.... Everything was going perfectly until you came back here... Your curiosity led you here. And we all know that curiosity killed the cat. You messed everything up... So why not just die?

Mario: LEAVE ME ALONE! *He cried.*

?: I won't. I can't... I am you, after all. I'm always there in the back of your mind. I know everything you did. I had to sit there and watch it. You're a pathetic waste of space. There is nothing to go home to... So... Why try to stay alive? What will people see you as. A monster. You're not going to lie about all this, are you? *haha.* Of course you won't... I'll make you confess... And then you'll have to spend your life in a cage... And you don't want that... Right? Running will do no good... Try it. or... Make this easy for yourself and end your pathetic little life? It'll be quick...

Mario: .......... I..... Really am pathetic.... I'm a waste... Why do i even bother surviving if there's nothing to go home to...... My brother is dead... The love of my life is dead...

?: What is it that you desire...?

Mario: ....

?: Your pathetic. The absolute worst. None will care if you go missing. You'll die here... and none will bat an eye. You'll be forgotten... It may take centuries... Or even ions... but you will be forgotten... Just another skeleton lost to time...... So just die.... What will you choose... It's clear to me...

Mario: *He looked down at the floor. His eyes looked dull and dead as he made the decision* I'll do it.... None will care.... I don't even have anything to live for.... *He opened a nearby drawer... which coincidentally had a noose in it...* What's the point...?

Mario: *He had it all set up now...* None will miss me...
