Do you know what it's like
to feel pain?
The kind where
it hurts so much
you can't breathe?
Pain medication
won't take it away.
There's no way out
and you know it.
You can't save yourself
...you already tried.
And nobody else,
however much they care,
can ever save you.
You'd lose them
and be back in a worse predicament
than before.
Remember?
You tried.
You know you're always
going to be alone.
But the worst part is,
you don't kill yourself
because you want to keep on living—
you want to hope
that there's hope.
But this is a world
where good guys die
and bad guys win.
The dragon has you.
He locked you up and threw away the key.
All the knights are dead.
You're stuck.
Forever.
