mustbepurged | Memshare: The Will to Live

You hold your sword in your hands. It's pointed at your friends. You don't want to fight them, but you can't control your body. You can't control anything anymore. It's hopeless. You wish someone would kill you, if only to stop you before you do something that can never be taken back...

"Come back to us! Estelle!"

It takes everything you have to stop and force yourself to listen.

Yuri keeps going. "Are you just going to let your life end like this, like someone else's tool?!"

Of course you don't want that. But it's useless. He should know that. Why is he still trying to reach you, when...

Somehow, you find the strength to resist, forcing your hands to let go of the sword. It clatters to the ground.

"I want to..."

Tears well up in your eyes. Magic swells around you. It's your power. The poison that's hurting everyone, hurting the whole world. But even knowing how dangerous you are... they never gave up on you. Yuri and your friends, they're still trying to save you.

... Maybe you can keep trying. Maybe you don't have to give up.

"I want to be myself! I want to keep on living!" you cry out at last.
