Chapter 40

Nico

I thought I’d feel the passage of time. But all I feel is pain. And with pain as the only constant in this place, time is just another thing that’s been stolen from me. Days, months, years, decades, forever since I held Bianca in my arms. My body still remembers her, the weight of her, the scent of her, the sound of her… she is my only memory.

I know there were others with whom I shared my life. A family. But I can’t see their faces in my mind or remember their names. Only hers. Only Bianca.

The reason she alone exists in the barren wasteland of my mind… I knew the answer to that riddle once, but all knowledge abandons me, like hope.

But wait, I do remember.

Her tear.

My tear.

The collision of our existences.

A connection like no other.

A connection I can feel, even here. I never imagined any bond could reach across the realms, but ours does.

This connection feeds me glimpses of my beloved, powerfully enough that I am certain of things beyond the borders of this hellish purgatory.

I know she’s loved.

I know she’s safe.

Sometimes, when the catastrophe of my reality recedes ever so slightly, I imagine I can hear her calling to me.

“Nico… my Nico… I’m going to get you back. I promise. So just hold on. You’re mine and I’m yours, and nothing and no one can keep us apart.”

Every time I hear her voice, it’s the greatest gift any inmate could ever receive. The truest blessing for a monster trapped in this unending nightmare prison for damned souls, who are now pitted against each other in a war that has no victor, no end, only pain.

So much pain.
