The Second Chord

[invoke_lyssa]

I am tired of this dream. I want to awaken now.

So big.

Please.

Too big.

...Lucy. You were there all along, weren't you?

[Private to self//hackable]I hate him. I will not rot with them when I've been rotting for fifteen years. Already decayed beyond the point of increase; silly to even conceive such a thing.

All this time, you were so close to me. I searched and searched, but I did not know. I thought you were gone forever, I thought he had taken you. I...

Turpin was the only man I've ever killed. And Mrs. Lovett...this is the first I've seen her in fifteen years. Here, not London.

He had to die, Lucy. Please believe me. He had to! All of that evil and malice and...and...

No...I'm not. B, not T.

My name...is Benjamin Barker. Fifteen years ago, Most Honorable Judge Turpin committed me to Fogg's Asylum. I returned home to find the shop empty and you...gone.

Lucy.

I've Turpin's blood on my hands. I can still see it, even now. All of this red. So much red, won't come off.

But only his. Lucy, I promise you.
