ENDING E "Truth"
If you are going to kill me then do it
"Sorry...
You daddy doesn't understand, but...
If you are going to kill me then do it...
I am in agony...
To finally be reunited with you...with you like this..."
With an expressionless face Cheryl points the barrel of the gun at me.
"Hand it over to him now, Cheryl."
That voice woke me up.
A particularly hoarse voice.
Dahlia...
I could faintly see her standing in the darkness behind Cheryl.
"Dahlia..."
Dahlia did not move. She looked down on me and began to speak.
"...It's terrible.
The gods have passed judgment on you...
Under the pretext of searching for your missing daughter you were unable
to get her back."
What...what are you saying...
Dahlia taps Cheryl's shoulder and Cheryl holds out the handgun.
"Daddy, isn't this yours?
It was dropped here."
I remained seated, and then I reached out and took the handgun without
knowing why.
"My...handgun?"
I hurriedly checked my pockets.
The handgun was definitely missing.
"It doesn't appear that you have realized it yet."
I carefully studied the gun I was holding.
This is definitely the gun I received from Cybil.
One round is chambered in the gun.
.........
Wait...
There is one round in the gun...
One round?
This is...the antique shop...
Cybil heads to the altar at the end of the passage...
I follow her...
Without making any footstep sounds...
Cybil doesn't notice me...
I strangle her from behind...
I push her down to the floor...
I press the gun I am holding to the base of her neck...
And forcefully pull the trigger...
.........Where is this...............
...Hospital...? I leave the examination room...
Yes, to get the oil heater...
No...instead...
I return to the room...
Lisa was surprised...
I grab her long blond hair...
Her scream and the gun shot occur at the same time...
A terrible headache...
I cannot take it and run out into the corridor...
I run into a man that was surprised by the gun shot and has come out of
a room...
He sees what I have in my right hand...
He sees the red stain on my clothes.......
I persistently chase him...
I look at his back as he runs away...
He is a fool...that Kaufmann...
There is a dead end ahead...
You have no where left to run to...
He sank to the floor in the corner of the hall...
What a pathetic end...
I place my right leg on his shoulder...
"It looks like you have remembered."
Dahlia's piercing voice penetrates my eardrums.
Something snaps within me.
"Dahlia...I..."
I cannot speak through my tears.
Cheryl clings to Dahlia, and stares fixedly at me. She appears to be
frightened.
Silence...
It's strange.
That my daughter would cling to a woman that she has just met.
Even as I shared the same time and space with them, they felt completely like
people from another dimension.
"If your going to kill...then you should do it...
No one is left in this town.
This town is dead." (Dahlia)
The snow still continues to fall even now...
On the roof and walls of this decrepit hospital, on all the houses, a
merciless source of white ice falls.
I fly into the sky.
I look down on the town wrapped in thick fog, it is going far away.
I spread out my arms and climb even higher.
This feels good.
It's invigorating.
If I close my eyes I feel that I would rise all the way to space.
Cheryl has watered the dandelions that have bloomed in the garden.
My body is...
In my distant consciousness my entire body trembles.
I am holding a gun in my right hand, lying face down on the desk in my study.
I will never move ever again.
Calm sunlight...
A gentle breeze blows in from the window...
Cheryl...
The End
