Summary: CU. Kohaku's strength is tested.

I watch myself

Myself who is not me

Chain clinks caustically

Through fingers which are not my own

Sister lunges, avoiding deadly blade

Sharp thunk, sinking into wood

And she calls to me

I hear her

Through ears which are not my own.

Wrestle with the puppet strings to my will

Body heavy, uncooperative, foreign

It dances to a new tune

He didn’t even cut my strings

Simply replaced them with chain that drags me down, down

Down.

And I bend

Myself who is not me

Marionette murder

With a cold blade and dead eyes and a terror in my soul

To this puppeteer.

Swallowed by darkness.

Sister sobs sorrowfully, searching soulless eyes for brother

And her tears corrode those cold chains

Control snaps and frays

He howls.
