A lonely young women's life changes the very
night of Murray Franklin's murder, on live television and it is a change that her heart will never forget. When she spots a man passed out and bloody, in an alley, that same night and even when she sees...
A/N: Hi there, I just wanted to state that, when there are bold italics in my fic and they're vague and in the middle of the page, its supposed to be like a flash back. I always picture things very vividly when I write them, almost like a movie. I see everything as if I'm directing a film, so, I hope that helps, if it's confusing at all lol. ♡

The voice on the radio, much like the voice that clawed at the back of her mind, spoke of the man she just finished giving her body and soul to. Most of it was about the show and how he was still at large, but...she also heard some things that she had no idea about.
Apparently a past coworker of Arthur's named Randall was also murdered in a brutal and horrific way and her eyes widened when she heard that his mother was found dead in the hospital a few days ago. They were saying that she had a stroke and that was why she was there, but even though she may have just died from the stroke, they were also stating that she died not too long after Arthur came to visit her.
The cold stab of reality plunged directly into her heart and she crumpled to the floor and found herself wishing she never turned the radio on at all.
She knew that the truth could only be avoided for so long, but she was so enthralled in her love affair with this unhinged man that she just had not even thought much about the unfortunate fact that as beautiful and unique of a soul Arthur possesses...he was not just quiet and endearing Arthur Fleck, but someone else that she had not yet seen.
