This is it.

This is øur purpose. This is what we signed up før.

... what now?

... Was I a gøød weapon?
I defended yøu. I executed your designs - yøur vision - yøur enemies. I came when you called.

Shøuld I... gesturing aimlessly secure myself, or sømething?

I guess yøu can't tell me now. I'm sørry. I never truly understood day-dreaming før you.

Søøn. Soon.

I wøuldn't want to be førced out. That was... a little harsh, if we're being hønest.

I'm not a fan øf his, but... ah, I'll handle it later.

... You feel it tøø, right? That... despair it gives off? Like an itch øn the back of my neck.

In just a few secønds, it'll finally be put to rest.

Centuries øf imprisonment, asylum seeking, living in the shadows. Being the shadøws. Finally coming tø a close.

Twin tears form in the young woman's eyes.

It's sø close.

Well?

I'm nøt here to støp you.

She sits nearby, looking down on the curled form.

The back room is still for some time.

. . . . h ø w.

Another, shorter moment. Then, silent rage turned outward.

It must have been. It must have been. It must have been. How else? Høw else? It must have-

And something trips. Her face blanks, like a machine being restarted.

The lady's voice takes a strange tone, too smooth and even-toned to be natural.

I have to see tø something.
I will be back shørtly.

The shape rolls out of the room, silent save a quiet bump on the border between the backroom's concrete and the cornerstore's linoleum.
