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.
