'Can you hear it?'
It's beating.
'It'll be the end of you.'
I know.
What can I do?
'Come back.'
But, I can't seem leave it be unheard.
'You have to.'
But, then it'll destroy her.
'She's weak.'
I can't let things like you hurt her.
'You belong with beings like us.'
How much do you know me to tell me such things?
'You have no heart.'
It doesn't make me you.
'Your soul comes from this realm.'
Why am I here, then?
'You sneaked out of our sight.'
Then, I never desired to be there.
'Don't cause trouble. You'll be putting youself in danger along with her.'
I know, but I can't seem to let go of that heart.
'You're ruining yourself.'
I won't let my heart beat.
'You can't, anways, but a rare case like you...you'll surely ruin yourself.'
We'll see how far I can go to ruin myself.
'For just a heart that'll die soon like all the other beating hearts.'
Deal, then?
'Deal. Until you've ruined yourself, she won't be hurt.'
Alright, Zee. If this deal is broken, you'll see the end of yourself.
'Okay, Orion Arvid. Deal has been made.'
I don't have any memory of telling you to call me by my name. Especially, by my full name.
'Then, I'll call you brother. Which one would make you comfortable?'
Neither.
'Now. Now. I don't think I care. Go ahead, ruin yourself. Crawl back to your brothers. You die.'
Deals aren't free after all.
'Just like how your life isn't free.'
