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.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaO7fhP3c4
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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q9osv4D2I
"It's not your job to care, right? You're just the dealer."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LQJS3gce3
"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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauGDXljUTQ
"I need evidence, and I can't risk getting caught, so I put the problem to sleep."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMZpKKv6of
"So, that's how you manage to plant evidence. I wondered how you convinced that drama teacher that his wife cheated on him."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyDwssKuL0
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfPeuavzP
"Right, and what about the underwear? Did you take it out of your parent's wardrobe?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXPbswzKD2
"Of course not, I found it at the city dump."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cogq1C7j7
"That's disgusting, I don't know how you can do that crap. I would just be barfing from the stench."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFkrZwiUs
"You need to put in the effort to make it believable."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua06qakmzG
"So, are you going to be putting someone else to sleep today?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFPHB4S6Gs
"Not at the moment, I'm just making early preparations. I have other plans for tonight, so I'm getting out of here."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGARbdVszA2
"I thought you'd be more hesitant to tell me the truth."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WwvF1dJQg
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUI7mPDY9d

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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUuSZFuZR
"W-What?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDF8pOcfrQ
"Are you feeling okay? Did something happen? You always seemed nervous around me, but it was never this bad."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoS2M5Q5Yz
"I-I need to go. I'm sorry."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0EFGW1qy8
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...63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdbbvV6dvy
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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykzTHn7G18
"I didn't do anything to you! I don't even know who you are!"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu2JIJZ9ld
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb9jFz5QIi
"Somebody help me! This thing is trying to kill me!"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7lg2shHNv
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5AJ9jGgAK
"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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gt6go3WMF
"How the hell am I supposed to know?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4GDOaKYZn
"I guess I might've damaged the wrong bone."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ASu7HE5xG
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.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOYAEJIktX
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.63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhchMwF7G7v
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!"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJtsEaR4A
"Look around. You have eyes, don't you? Use them, or I'll put them to better use."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlXWAKwbxV
"What do you want from me?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcTAVWFR3A
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3Zv3DH4w
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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI9n9Xsy7D
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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCtaQHSNOk
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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5CHIkKxE
"I'm not scared of him."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsEz0h2F5
"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."63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG6v6cPtom
"Shut up!"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxoMrcCzeL
"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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgGsOWn6w
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?"63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ikc8Lkvty
