I'm scared. Sasha, I'm really scared.
I think.... I don't belong in that home. I overheard that my mom.... My mom isn't even in the house.
The way they look at me, they're all terrifying, and I don't want to go back. I don't want to go back....
But there's no food, or anywhere to stay here, it's just.... Just sewers.
I don't care.
But....
........
Do you hate me too?
What...? Why?
Because I like to laugh?
No.... No. Why would I?
Because I shouldn't laugh.
Nonsense! Eno, you should keep laughing.
Really?
Really.
Would things be different if he didn't go back that day?
Just because I thought my place was too cold and dirty, I sent him home?
If he hadn't gone back, would it have changed everything?
🔍
You're hurt! The wound on your stomach.... What happened, what happened?!
Sasha.... I've been laughing.
You see, you told me I could laugh, so I kept laughing.
I never stopped laughing....
Sasha, do you still want to hear me sing?
After that, he visited me from time to time.
And each time he had more and more scars....
So many more.
I realized how much the things I said influenced him. So I started talking less.
Would that make things better?
🔍
Your back!
Your back....
........
......Does it hurt?
........
This can't keep happening.
Who the hell did this?! Why are they doing this to you?!
Whoever it is.... they need to be punished! Whatever it is, it needs to be destroyed!
Eno, take me with you!
...All right.
Huh?
I will.
I didn't know what I'd said.
I didn't know if I could say anything anymore.
What did I do? What the hell did I do?
I've read a lot of books too, but no book ever told me.
Nothing ever told me.
🔍
Look. Look at it, Sasha...
You told me you wanted to destroy everything that hurt me, didn't you?
........
Come on.
Your wounds...
They're not important. It doesn't matter.
You see, with one little breath.... It's all better. It's all fine.
Come on, I'll bandage you up! There must be some cloth around here...!
That man cut my leg.... Then with one breath, it's better.
An old man slashed my back. One light touch, and it was fine.
And it's all thanks to that Originium rock that fat woman shoved down my throat!
That's enough, Eno. Really...
I can't sing anymore, but you see, it's all from the Originium!
There's nothing I can't do!
Eno!
...You're unhappy. Why? I only did what you told me.
Why are you unhappy?
Obviously they're all happy. Just do what they say and they'll all be happy....
...Because all of your family are assholes. All of them.
Yes!
So the kids killed them.
...What?
The Infected kids who hadn't been driven out of town....
What did you do to them?
They hit me, too. They hurt you too.
Now, they are like pieces on a chess board. My literal pawns.
As soon as I healed their wounds, they obeyed my every command.
I'll take that bunch of ugly, disgusting people, all of them.... All of them!
You see, Sasha? You see what I've done?
We'll burn it down in one magnificent blaze! All of it!
........
Sasha, what's wrong with you?
Don't do anything like that ever again.
But I thought you said....
I didn't think it would turn out this way.
Eno, do what you really want to do. Not this.
I can help you. You don't have to do this.
But I....
That's enough! Just do what you truly want, Eno!
Not what you're forced to do. Not the bloodshed, not the heartbreak, not the revenge!
You don't even like this kind of thing...!
...Sasha...
I....
I want to.... Sing....
Ugh....
........
I couldn't do anything.
I was useless.
🔍
Eno....
I can't sing anymore.
We'll go together. We'll survive.
Survive?
What's so great about that?
........
Nothing.
But we can do it together.
What are you going to do?
This is the Originium I stole from the mine, I was going to sell it for some food.
Sasha!
Mmm!
This way, we're both infected.
Let's survive together.
🔍
I'll do whatever you want me to do....
No need. Do as you please.
I allow it. You are Mephisto, after all.
But, you said before....
That was years ago.
It's only natural that some things change over the course of a career.
If we don't keep up with the times, we're doomed.
So we, and our fellow Infected, must fight for our collective future.
Anyone can be sacrificed for that ideal.
I can trust you, can't I?
Yes. Because I am Talulah.
Then I will!
You will, I'm sure you will.
We can't do it without you. You can do anything, and you can accomplish anything.
Come in.
........
You should have seen it all.
Who are you?
I am Talulah, of course.
The Talulah I knew... is not you.
Talulah is just a name. Talulah is just Talulah
Help him. Mephisto needs your help. Mephisto needs you to give him value. He trusts only you and me.
Talulah would never do that. You're taking advantage of his trust in you!
None of us have the power to choose.
........
You'll do it for him. Everything.
