"Inside these once familiar walls, I could not help but feel the ghosts from a not-so-distant past". The typewriter sits in the green case and Alice knows what she has to do, tell her story. After being convicted of murder, in the midst of class fights, political scandals, and militias, Alice was taken away to a mental asylum. Her goal is to die. She lost her friends, family, and lover. Therefore, Alice realizes that to die in peace, she must find complacency in her acts, by telling the story of her involvement. "What is the meaning of life if not surviving in pain? What is the purpose of living when you watched the chaos, and participated in one of the bloodiest massacres the city has ever seen?" So, she writes, postponing her death each day. Only to realize her role was not direct, as people perceived, but a domino-effect, filled with severe consequences and lost lives. All Alice wanted was to help.
