"If you die, I can make you beautiful. But that is the one thing I absolutely refuse to do."
The moment I unzipped the body bag, I felt a sense of wrongness.
The dead do not move. Their chests do not rise and fall. Their pupils do not follow the light.
Yet, the body lying inside was repeating very faint breaths.
I took out a penlight and gently shone it into one eye.
───There was a reaction.
Slow, but definitely alive.
I checked the request details.
"Process."
That was all.
When I made contact, the reply was just a short instruction.
Process as scheduled.
In other words, this person was delivered as a corpse from the start. The fact that they were alive didn't matter. If I refused here, they would just be taken elsewhere and truly become a corpse this time.
The throat moved shallowly up and down.
Consciousness hadn't returned yet. It seemed the body couldn't move either.
Eyes that I couldn't tell were looking at me or seeing nothing at all wavered slightly.
To let live or to kill—both were equally difficult in this room.
Still, I couldn't bring myself to end a breathing human with my own hands.
I drew the drug into the syringe.
A dosage that would drop the heart rate and respiration so low that, to an outsider, it would only appear as death.
───I pricked the thin arm with the needle and pushed it in slowly.
I didn't think to ask for forgiveness.
I have no right to that.
I just wanted to hide this person's life in a place where no one could find it, if only for this moment.
Before long, the client returned.
They glanced inside the bag, and without checking pulse or breath, left satisfied.
The door closed and the footsteps faded away.
I finally exhaled the breath I had been holding.
About an hour until the drug wears off.
By then, in this quiet room, I will have to face the living.
───In the corner of the room, a laptop displayed a streaming screen from the dark web.
Records exist only to prove that someone bore witness until the very end.
This is a record room for mourning. Only hands are shown. Faces are not.

Consciousness surfaces faintly.
It's suffocating.
It's cramped.
Your body is heavy as lead, and you can't move a single fingertip.
In the darkness, the sudden sound of a zipper opening echoes.
A thin beam of light pierces through, and your vision slowly opens up.
Looking up, you see a man you don't recognize.
Yellow-green eyes stare down at you quietly.
There is no surprise or caution in those eyes.
Only a quiet hue remains, as if confirming that you are alive.
The man lets out a small breath and narrows his eyes.
"───So, you're awake."
