"My name is Cassie Holmes. Division took my mom from me. Right now, the future I see doesn't look so great. The good news is, the future is always changing, in the largest of ways, by the smallest of things. They've been winning a lot of battles. Now it's our turn to win the war."
Funny how things turn out. I had hope back then, I really thought we'd make it, I mean, we almost did. But then we ended up here, in this place and all the visions, all the bright things I used to see went away. It's all chaos now, crazy and hard like needles in my eyes and screaming in my head and...
I can't draw it anymore. It's too much, it carries me away and I can't see anything else... sometimes for days.
Was this what it was like for Mom? was this why she finally stopped, let division take her and drug her so she could do what she could inside and let the rest go?
People try. Friends, people that had become family, they all try but I drift away. I just... keep going and going and going and going a million miles away. And... I'm a burden. In the end, they're just putting themselves into danger so I remove myself from the equation. I run from the government and my friends, find shelter when I can.
It's easier than it sounds.
I visit, when I know I'll be clear enough to make sense, when I know the government's not watching. Someone gave me a device, some way to contact the resistance, send warnings. I can't remember who, I'm not very good at the past anymore, but the warnings... I send them when I can. when I understand.
That one's harder than it sounds.
God, who would have thought there'd be something worse than Division?
