Hoyes. I'm very happy with that one. I really love telling it. I wish that I could write the music in here, too..... XD Thanks for commenting it.

So, what're we waiting for? This world still sucks, and it needs someone to fix it. What would YOU say; I know what I'd say. We fight, we make it better. Just because we might lose doesn't mean it's not worth it. How far will we take this, because I'm willing to go all the way to the top. I'm willing to take it and finish. This fight cannot last forever. Time doesn't heal all wounds. I'm alone, but I'm with you guys--that counts for something. We finish this tonight, we finish this here, and it's DONE. It can be won, and believing that it's not real will get us all killed. Find something to believe in--you, me, hope, the world, your love, your you........ Believe it, because we're here to win.

Storyline: HSC (final battle)

Don't do something you'll regret, because sorry's not nearly so easy to say then. You've taken all of your chances--you get no more. I know what you're thinking; you think that you can brush this off with a smile. I won't make it that easy on you. I've been called many things because of you--and some of the lies are almost worth believing; I recognize that. But I won't take it. I am beyond you, and I don't need to see anymore to know you. Not just what you look like, some of your traits, some of your likes, but you with your thoughts and your ideas. Drop all of your false illusions, love. And don't cry, because that won't change my mind. I am not your fool anymore. I make my own rules now. I don't need to see anymore of this.... I'm in your mind, love.....

Is this real? Because I've been lied to before. I feel you, and I see you, and it's brilliant and shining around you and I wonder if I'm dreaming..... I wonder if it matters, because all I want is to hold you. But it does; I need to know how you love me. Is it real, is it deep, are you real? We don't belong here--we belong alone and together. I believe in you, I want to, and you want to believe (and maybe you do); I love you so. But I need some sign, I need surety, I need to be shown... You come with the summer, and you make me love it for once. And even among everyone else, you're special. We belong together, I can tell. You bring me to life, you give me something special--but I just can't quite believe it's not real. You make me love the summer; is this a dream? Or are you real? (How deep is your love for me?) I must know, please.....

..... I remember when I was young. I remember when I was innocent--naive--it was beautiful. We were together, and nothing could harm us. That was the true summer of love; fuck 1967. And it was just something great (and it was a lie, to be true)--I've never known a better time, though. Those nights we sang in the car and drove all over everywhere together.... We were young and carefree and loving life. But the years went by.... You changed, Franz..... Everything's different, and some part of me still longs for the carefree days when we didn't know any better. It felt real, it felt big--it was bright and beautiful. Ah, those nights that we were together.... I didn't believe you were the way you are.... I remember when I was young; I miss me. I was so happy...

Why? Were you trying to hurt me? Do you know what it's like, seeing you with someone else? I'll find someone--I'll hurt you back--not healthy. I'm moving on, if I have to force myself to every step of the way. I was wrong, but..... I must move on...... Did you intend to make me cry? Did you want to make me so alone and miserable? I'll find someone else; someone else to complete me and to make me whole--someone to help me carry on.

You thought your problems were gone. If only you knew..... They're all beginning again..... I want to get away. Maybe it's you, love. Maybe it's all just attracted to you, and that's why all of this crap happens. Someone else must help me carry on, but not you.....

Goodbye. You've crushed me, love.

They break you. They hate you. They might be jealous, but they do hate you. They do nothing to save you--they consume you with your pain and make sure that you can't do anything to stop them. There is no way out--only inside. Go in. Inside, they can't hit you. If you are clever, or foolish, they won't hurt you inside. If you're crazy--you're inside. No one cares. Be something, Lili. Be somebody. But don't stay here. We tortured you. And now you've done this.. No, you can only stay inside. You're afraid, and I get that. But there's no other way now. Stay inside of yourself. Don't go anywhere. Retreat.....

Oh, you know what's in my mind, and you know what I think, and you know what I feel.... I know what you fear, and that's even better. Yes, when we tire, then you'll be at the mercy of some unimaginable power. That's just the problem you face when you do these things. You're to blame; I'll take you away with me as I doom your friends. Yes, I know what you fear. You're scared that it's all your fault, that you're somehow to blame.... And I can make that nightmare come true, just for you. Something's up, Lili--and it's me. And now we're on, we're having fun, we're going to do this the way you've always been too scared to.

Your little games have been going on for a long time, and I've finally figured it out. The only reason that he hasn't is because he's too sweet. Wanna be by myself--away from you, baby. It's not happening; why don't you find some other hot mind to tap into? I'm not here to entertain you, and you shouldn't mess with me. It's over, Traves. You aren't going to get another chance to do this the way that you want to. You're the kind who stands in the corner, placing bets on who's most likely to fuck you for the night.... You know you are.

"Where is your boy tonight"? Just a gentle reminder, all over again, that they've got everyone I love at their mercy. Fine. I'll take my chances away from him. (She took her chances away from him...)
She's still trying, sir. We took the man she loves away from her, we took away the thing that would've made people listen to her, but she's still calling up support. She's so famous that we can't actually take the easiest step. ..... So find something else.

Someday, my love, I will tell you. I should be with you, I should be everything that you would love. And I'm still trying to be. It's all because of you. All of these films, these songs, these everything--they're all for you and the cause you wouldn't have abandoned.

Staring across all those years at you--six, only--I remember why I gave it all up. (They want fire, and I'm giving it to them.)

You see me on your kitchen floor, moments later... I was the last good thing about your part of town, and when I slapped you like that, you never forgave me. But now maybe you'll understand.

You and me, together forever. See another couple together, symbolizing us. The day that I knew what I had to do--break us up--I couldn't breathe. I screamed. It was always all about you. I'm lost, my love. I've been living for a cause for years. To see you alone, time stands still and for an instant, I'm with you again in the way we were meant to be. You walk alone; I am drowning in my tears.
I scream, I go to you, because I know that soon their word will count for nothing. Time stands still and it rips us apart when it begins again. You turn away with a sneer, and I ask you not to go; I beg you to listen to me for an instant--I see you freeze, and I see you wonder what I could have done, what I could want now.
Again, for us, time stands still, as you wonder if it could've all been a dream. I wish. Neither of us would ever accept illusions, I know--and thus time starts up again and we are shocked back into today.

Alicia, you wouldn't know a good thing if it slit your throat, but I suppose that's just your nature. And it's just as well; there are too many bad things in disguise. They'll pay for what they've done, the secrets they've tried to keep from us... You'll wonder, when it's all done. But I know that you can't let me go. I'm fine. I understand that. I wish that you would trust me, just this once. I want to be forgiven, and I only wish that you would. I'm losing my eloquence, I'm losing everything but my passion. It's just getting stronger, and burning everything in its path. You might've allied yourself with a time bomb, my girl. But you don't care. You don't care, as long as it blows them all up in the end. That's a part of why I trust you with my life-for now.

Everything worthwhile in me is long dead, but you cause it to stir up and try to rise again. You're afraid of me, of what I could become--and I don't mind admitting that you've got a cause to fear. You're afraid to tell the others of this dangerous game, and eventually, I tire of playing. You're stirring everything up, but you refuse to acknowledge your power.... Go away from me. I was content to be dead, stay gone, and leave everyone else to their petty quarrels, so let me alone. I'm willing to go to the moon for you (the lack of oxygen would put me to a bad end) and until you're willing to admit what you want, leave me be. I should leave you again, slap you and tell you that I don't care--but I do and you know it. It hurts me, and you use it while turning a blind eye to the pain it causes me, and so I again beg you to leave me alone. Let me bury this love, Zeale... I'd do anything for you, but I'm so sick of you using that against me. Let me alone.

Sleeping outside your door, forcing myself to know everything, from your tone to your words--Why don't I drop dead? I wish it were that simple. You said that you would keep me honest, and now I need you for that. I don't know if I'm deceiving myself--and I'll probably never know without you--and you can't blame me for hating that, hating him, and hating myself--even you to a tiny extent.

I see the things worming into your head,and I can tell that it doesn't belong here. I can tell that you're just doing this to attempt to humble me before the last moment. You want to be inside of me? Try it. I know that if you think I'm wining, you'll just end it all--and I'm hoping I can get in a lucky shot. Back off now, put them down and show me that you really have some element of you in there somewhere. I don't want to sacrifice myself, you, or anyone else just on the whim of some ancient, malevolent power. I don't want to give everything away. I know all about your motives, yes, I know that you just want to prove once again how superior you are to me. And I know that you've got him really hiding somewhere, hidden and buried...

You're somewhere else in your head, you're somehow paralyzed... The barkeep didn't intend to let you leave. Your powers are dumbed down, and it's going to be a bitch for Bhen and I to yank you out of here against your will--especially with the protection spell from Zara.

I didn't know, and I never saw exactly what you were about. I could never have imagined that you would betray me like that. But I know that you did; I know that you let me fall. I just can't believe it; I don't want to believe it. But I'm not standing for your shit anymore; I'm not going to keep giving and giving and giving. You'll leave me out of everything and I'm not going to stand for that anymore. You used colored glasses, wool--everything.

No matter what we do, no matter how we try to make amends, they never trust the way that they did; the remember the way that the power corrupted us so much so long ago. Yes, it's all about us--and that hurts. When they try to strike at you, that hurts me, too. I hate it. It would be best to strike back--out on our own--because that way it could be us (about us), and we could be alone together without their bullshit. We could start over. It's a beautiful dream; what we can do.

You can put away the illusions and lies, Lili. We're past that. You've entered, you haven't been willing to play it our way, and now you're meant to only work with us. You must do as we wish. You've cast your die and chosen your side--even after we granted you the choice. You've passed the final threshold. You're beyond it all, and you cannot be saved. You've abandoned yourself and Zeale has done the same. Did you come willingly? He didn't. We stole him from a corridor to ensure that someone else would come. If it wasn't you, it would've been Zara or Nicole, and we might have had more luck. But this way is better. Now you're here with us--you've decided. No chance for second thoughts, now, love. You can't resist us, now. Oh, you try and try--but we outnumber you.
"Right and wrong"? Love, these are simply words without any real definition. There are no "flames", there is nothing. You've progressed to where we no longer are willing to help you--only to carry out the dance to its final and inevitable conclusion. No one will help you, no one will save you. And there's still one final twist, still one final surprise to upset you and make you realize that you don't quite know everything, and you don't quite have it all perfect.

Why I refused, they'll never know. And I will never tell them; they wouldn't believe me.
