Tell me; oh tell me, the way it works

The blood dripped down her face, making a puddle below.  Her fingers were slowly regenerating, and her hair has tinted lighter.  It went from its original (h/c) shade to a heightened color.  Dark bags had formed under her eyes, and she looked weary.

"[Name]-San, how do you feel?" Jason asked, cracking his index finger.  Barely lifting her head, she spit a glob of red, thick fluid at him.  Sighing as he wiped the blood away, he grabbed her by the throat.  "Be happy that I haven't killed you yet, you brat!" He whisper-yelled, a sadistic smile on his face.

Let me free.  I'll kill him.

The female didn't respond to the voice, and bashed her forehead against his.  Pulling away, Jason rubbed the spot, growling.  He reached into his pocket, and revealed the garden clips.  Slowly, he clipped off the newly formed fingers, making her scream with agony.

Who is that inside of me?

After all the fingers were gone, the large male started on the toes.  Foam bubbled at her mouth, and [Name] lied her head back.  Her eyes twitched open, then closed, and the voice spoke again.

[Name], let me do this.  You can't handle him alone.

Somebody knocked at the door, and Jason turned toward it, raising an eyebrow.  "Who's there?!" He shouted, and it opened, revealing Ayato.  "Leave her alone.  Tatara's orders," he commanded.  Groaning, the cannibalistic ghoul turned to her, whispering, "I'll finish you later."  As he left with the other ghoul, [Name]'s vision cleared.

Here in this broken-down, broken-down world

Her breathing began to return to normal, and her pulse slowed.  The female ghoul, well-known as the "Phantom", coughed more crimson liquid.  Tears form, and she leans over, the hot water flowing from her face to the ground.  The blood from before was soon washed with tears.

Stay strong, you idiot!  You're the "Phantom" ghoul, one of the most strongest ghouls!  ...Or at least you were, before you went soft.  Hey, listen up.  When we're finished here, drop out of college.  That'll teach you.

Hearing the voice say that, [Name]'s head jerked up.  "Don't you dare fucking say that!  I won't do that!" She screamed, her voice echoing off the walls.  Panting from using the energy, the door opened, Jason emerging.  "He said we can play again~" cooed, striding over to her.

You laugh, without seeing a thing

-

Two days had passed since [Name]'s "break", thanks to Tatara.  Unfortunately, there had been no breaks since then.  Her damaged toes and fingers always regenerated at different speeds.  One day, Jason came in, holding a syringe in his hand as he danced.

"[Name]-San, do you know what this is~?" He playfully asked.  The female didn't respond, so he continued on.  "It's a chemical that plays with a ghoul's RC cells.  It's time for an experiment!"  Not saying another word, Jason stabbed it deep into her left eye.

I'm just so damaged

A loud scream traveled through the hideout, making even Tatara jump.  Blood dripped from [Name]'s eye, and her breath sped up.  But seeing that it only gave him satisfaction, she held her breath.  A small growl could be heard, and Jason punched her.  She didn't scream, but bit her lip to keep her screams in.

I hold my breath

Upset with her reaction, Jason brought his foot back, then rammed it into her leg.  A loud snap was made, and the female screeched with pain.  His smile returned, and he reached out, stroking her hair.  "Tell me, what motivates you?" He sweetly asked.  "Is it something... special?"
