She was meant to stay away.
Emily, the only person in the world who’s made me feel like I actually have a heart.
She made me hope that my soul wasn’t as black as people say.
Hope’s a dangerous bitch though, one I killed before those embers ever had a chance to flame.
Now she’s back. And she’s keeping secrets, ones I plan to uncover using any means necessary.
I warned her that if I ever laid eyes on her again, I’d keep her.
In keeping her, I know I’m going to do the one thing I never wanted to do.
RUIN HER.
