Mm.

It's... over.
The end. The finale.

The me that is not me screams and writhes, but I look to you, Mother. I look at your door.
And say
good-bye.
I will always hate you. But I will turn around.

Jenny.

I hope Jackie didn't wake you up.

Yes. It's over. I ended it.

[wretched_son]

He does.

I am all right, for now. Those I had killed should be waking in the hospital.

[wretched_son]

I did not see her.

Because I ended it.
I did not
get that far.

[wretched_son]

...

Jackie. Jackie said that too.

It. I think it. Makes me happy. To hear that.

[wretched_son]

...But I.

Don't I deserve to be hurt?

[wretched_son]

It is often the same. Isn't it? Vengeance and justice and punishment.

[wretched_son]

Violence isn't good. Not justice.

The person who killed Marlene. Sweeney Todd.

I am not sure what he was trying to accomplish.

[wretched_son]

I am glad she is okay.

...Yes? I was just thinking.
