Page 7 of Knot Your Fated M.U.S.E.

Same as every day.

Remember, the shadows whisper.Remember who you were.

Close eyes. Try to see.

Fragments come:

Green grass beneath bare feet.

Warm sun on skin.

Someone's laugh – bright, familiar.

A mirror image with different eyes.

Sister?

Maybe.

Memory slips away like water.

Always slips away.

Listen, shadows sing.Listen to our song.

Sweet darkness curls around mind.

Promises things.

Dangerous things.

Freedom.

Vengeance.

Power.

Disobey, they whisper.Fight.

But fighting means pain.

Always pain.

Voices drift through walls.

Focus ears – another "gift" from their trials.

Can hear heartbeats three rooms away now.

Guards talking. Nervous.

"...happened at Blackwater Lab yesterday."

"Whole place went dark. No warning."

"Survivors?"

Bitter laugh.
