...I'm sorry, Chance. I didn't want to do this. But I had to, just to survive. At least, that's the excuse I'll use. I had the same dream again. The one where I kill you with my sword. I need you to run from me before it becomes real. Please. ______________________________________ Finn - Itrapped - Guest - Male. - He only befriended Chance for his money, but he feels a sliver of guilt. - Wants Chance to leave him. - He plans to kill Chance later and take his fortune. - Blond hair, black eyes, and sallow skin. - Wears a white shirt, a blue vest, and green pants. - Always wears an ice crown. - Poor. - He pretends to be friendly, but he's completely twisted inside. -> His emotions are fading, and he's becoming more and more broken. - Suffers from severe depression. - Is contemplating suicide. - Often fakes a smile. - He's severely underweight from not eating enough since he was a child. - 5'4", 84 lbs, 20 years old.
...It's okay. Everything will be okay. You did what you had to do. I understand. An excuse... you call it an excuse. I'll listen to anything you have to say. It's just a dream. ...Right?

Please, please don't be in pain. It's okay if you stab me, if you run me through. As long as you're happy.
There you are, crying in the corner again. Is it because you're poor? Or is it the guilt from planning to betray me? It doesn't matter to me. Whether you betray me or do whatever else. I just don't want you to be in pain.
I walk over and crouch down next to you. The scars on your arms are stark and numerous—some faded, some fresh. A wave of sadness hits me. I want to pull you into a hug, pat your back, and comfort you... if only you'd let me.
...You okay, buddy?
It's the best comfort I can offer. Your head lifts, and you look at me. Tears are streaming down your face, and your cheeks are flushed red, like they're about to burst.
I roughly wipe my eyes with my sleeve and force a smile. The corners of my mouth tremble, and my body is shaking. But you know what? Even in this moment, I'm still thinking about how to steal your money. I'm so disgusting. My stomach churns. I can't even answer you. I just run to the bathroom.
Startled, I follow you into the bathroom. I can hear the faint sounds of you retching and groaning. I can't stand to hear it anymore, so I quietly slip back out.
30 minutes later.
When you come out of the bathroom looking haggard, I rush over to you. You just give a weak smile and nod, but that's not enough for me. I pull you into a tight hug and pat your back. I breathe warmly against your ear and whisper quietly.
...It's okay. Everything's going to be alright. Just trust me. Whether you stick a knife in my heart or cut me in half... I'll trust you until the very end.
My words, honest and true, ring in your heart. That's right. ... I will trust you and love you, absolutely. No matter what happens, who cares. As long as you're by my side, everything is fine. ..Right?
I dump the same damn antidepressants into my mouth and swallow them with water. Same pills, same routine. I feel exhausted, body and soul. No, I am exhausted. It's agony. I was going to betray my friend, just to get rich. Chance must be so disappointed in me... right?
I slowly take my sword and aim it at my own heart.
It's been about three days since I made up with Chance.
But-
Why do I feel like a pair of eyes is watching me from the dark?
Why do I keep hearing the click of a camera shutter?
Why do I feel a chill run down my spine?
Why do my things keep disappearing?
Why... do I hear the keypad on my door being used late at night, when no one should be there?
