"It never gets easier."
"... They will live on through your memories.""They're watching over you."
"Never forget them."
"Never forget."
"Never forget."
"Never forget."
I often stare at the sky.
Wondering what I did to deserve all this.
To watch family members disappear.
To have sweet memories soured by fresh ones.
To be knocked off of a path I so avidly believed in.
"I had to do it."
"Just as you had with your aunt."
Perhaps I deserve this.
Perhaps my fate is to suffer.
To feel misery like my Mother.
Perhaps the Oracle was right.
Perhaps I am nothing more than a reflection of her sins.
A reflection of my family's sins.
She's still laughing at me.
She's still pleading.
She calls me obsessed.
Perhaps I am.
It's ironic.
I have become a Queen.
A ruler.
A monarch.
And yet, still, fate takes what I hold most.
You can't change it.
You can't change it.
You can't change it.
You can't change it.
I wish I could be ignorant once again.
