Death Is only the easy way out if you are the one who dies.

Can a dream be wrong? Aren't dreams God's way of telling you things?

No way to get away. No way to get away. Little change to sneak away... insanity.

Not even Carol knows firsthand how it feels to be hurt in such a way by someone who's supposed to protect you

innocence nightmare
Innocence eroded into nightmare. All because of very bad touch. Love, corrupted.
