VIII [VISUAL/LOCATION: SANCTUARY FOR ALL] MY MASK IS GROWING HEAVY BUT I'VE FORGOTTEN WHO'S BENEATH
Screams echo in his mind, reflections of his past dancing in front of his eyelids as he thrashed in the bed, trying to bashing the images from his mind, but there was nothing that he could do. They compounded on top of themselves until his whole vision was obscured in red. Jerking awake, Gabriel rolled over, a weak whimper passing his lips as he swallowed hard to quell the urge to vomit that was raising in his body. The darkness caused his breath to catch in his throat until his heart finally stopped pounding in his chest.
Of all of the information that he'd been told, everything that had be filled in since he'd woken without any idea who he was or why he didn't know, none of that compared to actually seeing it all. The memories still felt foreign, horrifying, and trying to think about it all caused his stomach to lurch violently and threaten to ruin the carpet at the foot of his bed. But now, it was more than just a torrent of words that he was doubtful of. There wasn't any denying it now.
He was a monster.
And that was all there was to it.
