Eren wandered around an empty city. This is how it's always been for him. The blanket of black above him and the lack of streetlights, made him and the convenience store nearby almost invisible.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftcIyIPNqR
He was meeting up with someone. Instead of going inside, he stealthily walked to the back of the building. "I expected you to show up again, Eren." A fellow classmate of his, smoking casually as he tossed a white container in his hand. "At first, I thought you were an addict, but it seems you have an ulterior motive."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu3tkemi4V
"It's not your job to care, right? You're just the dealer."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJYnm52us
"I should care, for this stuff is hard to obtain; it's an instant knockout. I know you're not taking them yourself, so what are you doing with them?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8521DKKUPQ
"I need evidence, and I can't risk getting caught, so I put the problem to sleep."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNCQhfZe3g
"So, that's how you manage to plant evidence. I wondered how you convinced that drama teacher that his wife cheated on him."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqUNyGXs1U
"His wife eats a little bit of food, then she goes to bed before he gets home. That was the only opportunity I had to use the tablets."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbvle1WRr9
"Right, and what about the underwear? Did you take it out of your parent's wardrobe?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrQe9qEng7
"Of course not, I found it at the city dump."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO7RYMprh1
"That's disgusting, I don't know how you can do that crap. I would just be barfing from the stench."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR9GV5zGC6
"You need to put in the effort to make it believable."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEegWqEX7X9
"So, are you going to be putting someone else to sleep today?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwR3MjYNz
"Not at the moment, I'm just making early preparations. I have other plans for tonight, so I'm getting out of here."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHakyx3uXd
"I thought you'd be more hesitant to tell me the truth."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBxtSRY3Be
"I'm not scared or intimidated of you. If I get caught, this stuff will trace back to the dealer; so no matter how much information I give you, you can't say a thing without it ricocheting."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnS1mvp9OO

Eren hurried off into the night. The sound of a bicycle slowed down behind him, the figure upon it was a literal ball of light, every word it spoke caused it to glow brighter. He was horrified, but didn't move an inch. "Why are you out this late, Eren? I was just heading home after my part-time job. We have school tomorrow, or did you forget?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D0RSFYjQl
"W-What?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0Y64KNwS
"Are you feeling okay? Did something happen? You always seemed nervous around me, but it was never this bad."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdobqy05688
"I-I need to go. I'm sorry."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8HVEs2fSx
Eren rushed away; the light called out to him, but he didn't look back. Something was wrong, none of this could possibly be real. He heard the bike closing in on him, and within that same instant...26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOBtkvIMc
His body was sent forward, sliding across the sidewalk. "You can't run away from me. My friends, my family, the school; they want you to suffer for all the bad things you've done."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCieDJJ623
"I didn't do anything to you! I don't even know who you are!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64X9UyeZLx
"If you don't know me, then how can you be so certain. I'm going to play with you, just like you played with me. You'll remember who I am, and when you do, you won't even understand why I'm doing this, but I'm willing tell you."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJGZAl6tJH
"Somebody help me! This thing is trying to kill me!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSeDXdBYs
"Their hatred, fear, and pain created me. I will not kill you, and killing yourself won't be an effective option either. You can't run away, you are stuck here with me, forever."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPtW5qiFsB
"Y-You're crazy." The bike tire ran over his foot at full force, causing it to become fractured. "Does that pain feel familiar to you?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24GgGMIL3
"How the hell am I supposed to know?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPtc02dTgR
"I guess I might've damaged the wrong bone."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtG3iomS44
Eren tried to crawl away, only to see the world distort around him. The sky and ground spun together like a spiral. His body pulled and stretched, causing everything to crack and tear inside of him.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLguI92vHTf
He could only feel intense pain, and the light laughed at his agony, along with the sound of several others. The voices stacked on top of each other, and as the pain reached its worst, it stopped.26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrm1XEBkb
He was sitting across from someone at a table, their face was scribbled out like he was inside a drawing. "W-Where am I?" The new figure didn't respond; they sipped away at whatever it was that they was drinking. "I asked you a question. Answer me!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmymg92bbtU
"Look around. You have eyes, don't you? Use them, or I'll put them to better use."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG6CAISVwr
"What do you want from me?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTTRrY4OZn
"Do I sense submission? It really seems to suit someone so pathetic. I was just going easy on you. It's nothing compared to the hell you will face in the end. I already told you once, I exist only for the purpose of making you suffer."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgeKXTf0E
The figure passed him a kitchen knife. "I'll let you decide what you want to do with it, but I already know the decision you will make."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnItLQ2XP0K
With that, he woke back up on the roof, holding the knife tightly in his hand. "It's real, it's all real. I can't even sleep without having nightmares of this crap."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxy9NsOlAb
He could hear the voice talking beside him, laughing at him. He panicked, swinging the knife at the air. "Which do you think is more terrifying, Eren? A psychopath like yourself, or a sociopath like Terry? What if his poor little brain breaks again? What do you think he will do to you?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44pwX4mLzY
"I'm not scared of him."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7aHYrML9G
"You have a talent for targeting the mind, that's why you worked so hard in psychology class, right? You wanted to know all the vulnerable parts of the human mind; you wanted to take advantage of it, because you liked the feeling of it. The feeling of having full control over somebody. Now tell me, what if a person doesn't use their head, but attacks on impulse? You cannot make a rabid dog behave."26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjeeIFeyBO
"Shut up!"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUf5JAOL7A
"How does it feel to be on the receiving end, Eren? Are you depressed? Anxious? You can't figure it out with these voices inside your head, right?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI7n5RUbOt
He broke into laughter. "You can't control me!" The knife tore through his throat. As he laid on the ground squirming, the distorted figure appeared for a second. "Looks like I already did. Are you scared now, Eren?"26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaKeTs1q1y
