Well, that wasn't the only contradictory memory, though...
[ She says that before he suddenly wraps his arm around her shoulder, causing her to drop the pillow she's holding as her just goes ahead to bury her face. He can probably tell just how distressed she is by the way her body shakes in fear, the fact that tear drops fall onto the bed when just moments ago she was acting completely fine.
Even though she's crying, she somehow manages to keep her composure while speaking. ]
You don't... have to apologize, okay? It's not your fault. But I remembered something else, too.
[ And it's here where she wraps her arms around him, fingers trembling even as she's so close to him. He's the only person who can comfort her at this moment as she even recalls it. The noises of it all are loud in her ears as her breath catches. It's horrifying, but she needs to get these words out.
She promised she'd tell him.
She promised. She'll always keep her promises. ]
I knew it was coming, but... I finally remembered. [ She laughs, like broken tiles but it's also a laughter that's terrifying. It's chilling to the bone because it's not happy laughter at all, but instead manic. What keeps it from being something dangerous, however, is the choked tears that come out after she's done. ] I killed someone with these two hands. No, you can't even call it that. What I did was I tortured her.
I stabbed, over and over and over again because I enjoyed it. Because I was angry at her for being so strong when I was so weak. You see, Shion was an idiot. No... that's wrong. I'm the idiot. When the person I loved back then disappeared, I didn't trust that they would ever come back. I just simply left him for dead and forgot about him.
[ Another laugh, but this time, it's hollow. ]
Ahaha, and I guess I forgot him again, huh? That's. Ironic, I guess...
cw: child abuse/torture warnings + murder, it begins
