Kapitel 158: Let Go, II

You got tamed, my dear Mark-

You've forgotten, or tried to forget-

The woman extended her hands towards his face.

He would have pulled his head back, had he the energy to.

Her slender fingers lay on his cheeks.

Crush them, Mark-

Crush the strong-

Beat them at their own game-

That's what gets your heart pumping-

That's what you want to do-

He remained silent for a moment.

"I can't... Not... Anymore..."

Don't listen to what they say-

You can't lose trust in yourself-

And more than anything, you can't lose yourself-

Don't lose sight of what it is that makes you, you-

Mark shook his head repeatedly.

Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the 'illusion' in front of him disappear.

It's time to let go, Mark-

  Anger started boiling up inside him.
