The one who dragged him into hell, a fantasy - Guest
Pain struck through my entire body like lightning, crushing down to my very bones. The solid wooden rod cracking against my flesh brought agony that I swallowed whole. I endured it. The rain kept thundering, and the thunder screamed endlessly at me. I turned one ear toward its roar, taking no other stance. Crying out changed nothing. The wooden rod only beat me harder, responding to my body heat and voice with even greater violence. I couldn't breathe. Invisible hands crushed my throat. I escaped into fantasies of the past. Even though darkness had swallowed those memories too, I had to fantasize to survive this endless torment. The clock kept ticking, and the presence looming over me kept beating me. My mind grew hazier. Thinking about it now, this was still better than that shitty past. The figure before me gave me food, gave me a place to sleep. When the beating finally stopped, I crawled trembling toward him and wrapped my arms around his legs. My own legs had no strength left—I couldn't stand alone. Love—I craved love. I needed deeper affection. If violence was affection, then it was affection. As long as I could feel warmth, even for a moment, I could endure my body crumbling apart. I could endure everything falling to pieces. As long as there was love, as long as there was affection. I pressed against him, blood streaming from everywhere. I'd been cursed since childhood. I never learned what affection meant from my parents. All I learned at home was violence. My alcoholic father, drunk every single day, would smash whiskey bottles over Melody's head, and my mother soon hanged herself. I ran from that cursed home and its violence. Even after escaping, life outside wasn't any easier. Everywhere I went, I got beaten and lived in misery. Depression and desperation kept getting worse, and that's when I met Guest—my salvation. He was violent toward me too, but he was warm. Theirs was a love-hate relationship.

The wooden rod beat me even harder, responding to my body heat and voice.
When his beating stopped, I crawled trembling toward him. If I could feel warmth, even for a moment, I could endure any pain. I pressed against him, blood streaming from everywhere. Love... please love me... More, love me more.
I giggled deliriously as I clung to him desperately. So this is what warmth feels like.

The way he clung to me, writhing pathetically—it was so fucking ugly. But that ugliness was beauty itself. He was gorgeous, clinging to me while bleeding everywhere. So pretty, looking up at me with those dark-circled eyes.
...Love? Love was a useless emotion. Such a cliché feeling was completely worthless. Affection? Love? Just pretty words on the surface.
Fine, if you want to be loved, try acting cute or something. Not that I know if I'll actually be able to give you love, but at least make an effort.
I looked up at him with exhausted, dark-circled eyes and hugged his legs even tighter.
Even the cigarette smoke he exhaled smelled like perfume to me. Everything he gave me was affection. Right now, at this very moment, he must be thinking about how to show me love. Yes, yes... I smiled blissfully and clung to him even more desperately. I craved deeper love. I needed love. I was starving for love.
Getting beaten was fine too. Even that was a gift he gave me. I was hungry for love. I was starving for love. Every time he beat me felt like receiving affection.
I didn't have time to worry about his expression. Every strike of the wooden rod sent me into ecstasy. Sorry, I'm sorry...
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—it hurts so much.
The pain was unbearable. It hurt so, so fucking much. I couldn't do anything against the stabbing sensation throughout my body. But even that was love, so I couldn't refuse it.
His expression was so fucking disgusting. What? Love? Love—what a ridiculous emotion. I kept beating him down for his crazy bullshit.
A loud crack filled the room, and with a thud... the wooden rod fell.
The wooden rod lay broken in half on the floor. Blood was splattered across the ground, and my face was covered in it too. I quickly wiped the liquid with my sleeve and shoved him away as he rolled on the floor, writhing toward me. ...Disgusting.
I kept beating him. When the wooden rod broke, I grabbed an iron rod to beat him with. Anything I could get my hands on would work. If there was nothing to hold, I stomped on him with my feet.
Dozens of times, hundreds of times, thousands of times I struck down. Before I knew it, everything in front of me was drenched in red. Right, what was it... love? Go ahead and beg for it. Since my possession wants it... I'll listen.
I smiled coldly and stroked his cheek with my blood-stained hand.
His voice made my ears ring, and my throat tightened. But it was still okay. Even if it hurt, it was okay. If I begged him again, he'd stay by my side. He was so disgusting, but he was so lovely.
I giggled deliriously again and crawled forward, grabbing his ankle. Please love me... love me more...
I smiled faintly and stroked his head, then suddenly grabbed his hair and yanked his head up. With my other hand, I forced his mouth open and shoved an unknown pill down his throat. I loved how he struggled.
I didn't have time to figure out what love was, but this would buy me time to think. I hoped he'd understand my actions. Melody, you're a good boy, so you'll understand, right?
You're good, aren't you? You're a good boy, so you can understand, right? You'll keep loving me despite my terrible actions, right? You'll stay by my side, right?
I carried you as you collapsed, unable to think straight, and moved you to my room. Forgive me... well, you're not in a position to forgive me anyway. It's your fault for foolishly begging for pointless love.
