Her grin was crooked, much like her morals. She spoke with a mixed tone of contempt and dismay, her appearance never giving away her true intentions. "Death is a fool, ever believing in the ideals that humans reach for," She reached for the petals on the rose, her hand hesitantly hovered above the flower, her deep sigh filled the air as the veins within the rose became prominent, the lavish red color wilting away to a dull gray. The rose melted into a pile of ashes, the dust being the only evidence of its previous existence, and I knew that somewhere in the lower realm it would sprout beautifully. She turned to me, a look of contemplation on her face, the shrill voice of hers swallowing me whole. "I, on the other hand, know where my morals lie."

"I starved myself but I never died. I have no idea how I survived that long without food. The floors I slept on where of moldy brick and sometimes a rat would curl up to my neck. I stopped caring. The warmth kept me sane." I took a deep breath and continued. "The worst part was not knowing. Not knowing what happened to my team. Not knowing happened to my city. I couldn't do anything but stare out the tiny slit of light from under the door. That was my life, that light. I didn't know what time of day it was but that light told me I was still alive. Without it would be darkness." I hear her shift in her chair but stay with my eyes closed. "I think the only thing that kept me going was the pain. It sounds strange but I loved feeling it. It made me feel alive, I still had something. It was the only thing that kept me thinking I wasn't one of the rats. Pain, I realized, was worth it. Because the pain reminded me that I was breathing and awake. And that maybe one day if I ever got out that maybe that pain would go away."
