Chapter 51: A Marionette (1)
Elliot’s POV
“I was chasing my visions, trying to change my future, only to be blinded in the present.”
— Elliot Starfall
Darkness.
A void stripped of all light—a hollow where I drift, bodiless. I float in it, or maybe I fly. It’s hard to tell; my body doesn’t move. It’s still. My thoughts? Not so much.
Silence.
Is this death?
How cruel... to die and not be reunited with Ren. With my blood, my family.
My eyes are open, but I see nothing. No light, no shape, no motion. Just endless darkness.
Is this hell?
It somehow reminds me of the moment when I saw the world end back then, when everything was still alright. I try to sigh, but no breath comes. My lips don’t even part. I can’t move them. There’s no air here—just pressure.
