'Monster,' she says, and the word echoes around the dimly lit room.
Choice, you remember, is what made it this way. Your choice made the word resound through your skull, burning, burning as it goes.

'Why?' she demands.
You don’t answer aloud, but your reply simmers in the back of your skull, marking you for eternity.
We all had to make our own choices, you know. This is yours.
