Summary:
The waves crashed against the simmering hot sand, sounding as if Ariadne was listening to it through a shell.
Nearby is a house with cracked windows, darkened rooms, chipped paint. A house that was once filled with a dream, shattered.
But, that's all it was. A figment of one's mind. Just like the rest of this place.
Mal (a ghost, a projection? mirage?) stands by the iron gates, a knife in her brittle hand. Her face a landscape of hate. Polarized. Her lips curled into a smile, but her eyes were nothing but black circles, opaque, devoid of anything. Pixelated.
