Mask Of White

In a test group, how could the fact that a drug produces the same results in only two people change their hopes for curing their pre-designed illness and their anger toward the system? Lee's symptoms were just the same as Skye, unlike others' experiment results. And they needed to find each other again inside a big dungeon labyrinth hospital without showing any intention about escaping from their slavery.

Some experiments have unknown outcomes, yet the emotions they evoke are unforgettable. At the point where you would rather die than become a slave to your new feelings, why do you realize so late that someone else understands death the same way you do?

I looked for you everywhere.

In my glass, in the nights I walked through, in the way time blinked like a secret on the horizon, in whispers so delicate the world could never hear them. My soul searched for the pure and unshaken essence of you. I searched for every curve of your face, for all the gentle emotions your nature awakened in me, even knowing you were never mine. Even when my feelings dulled, I reached for the moment of you. No one will ever know, but I will keep searching for you until the end of my life. I just-never found anything else, anyone else, or anything more beautiful in what I was looking for. My helplessness was in needing to see your face.
