I had fallen asleep next to Raziel but the people who I slaughtered on the box tunnel 20 came swimming into view, their faces entering my mind, their voices in my ears, I soon woke up and bolted out of the chair I was in, running down the stairs and out the door.

I needed to be alone, I walked the sidewalk raking my fingers through my hair, I was stressed beyond belief, my eyes were full to the brim with tears which clouded my vision, it soon began to rain but I carried on regardless and I made it to the train station.

The carriage they were killed in was set aside on another track as a memorial, I subconsciously wandered over, I rested my hand on the handle hesitating for only a few seconds before opening the door, the train had been cleaned and the corpses removed, I dragged my fingers over the chairs and tables, even though the carnage wasn't there I could still see it.

"I am so sorry" I sobbed, I tried to hold it in but I couldn't, I cried hysterically being forced to my knees, when I felt I could I pulled myself onto a chair, I pulled my knees up and leant my head against the window, my tears didn't stop but I must've cried myself to sleep.

As I heard a familiar voice waking me up. "Annalisa wake up" He said shaking me gently. I looked up at Mitchell who only offered me a kind smile and a comforting arm around my shoulders.

"Mitchell I want to die, what we did to those poor people its unspeakable" I cried.

"Ohl Annalisa no you don't, this guilt will pass, a few days ago I was like this but I hid it from you, and now look at me" He said.
