[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

I wake up in my apartment for the first time since I bought it. I go to see how Sage is doing. I'm so happy about our big date tonight... Finally...

I come to her door, and something doesn't seem right. It was left ajar overnight...? I enter the apartment. "Sage?"

No answer.

I go to her bedroom, and nobody is inside. On top of a neatly made bed, I see an envelope. "Helix", it has scrawled on it, in slightly messy cursive writing.

Confused, I open the letter:

Helix,

I hope that you're the one reading this. I'm leaving you and the rest of the world, but I hope you still love me as much as I love you. This isn't your fault, it's mine. My fault and fault of the people who organized this experiment in the first place. I am not a violent person, as you know. The pressure of this constant fear, living next to a man who very well may be hunting me... it's just too much to bear. I'm sorry for the pain this may cause you, but I made this decision for my own sake. I refuse to be a victim and a lab rat for Jean's father. I am going out on my own terms, and I want you to know... I will always love you.


~Sage

Wh...what? I'm still a bit confused. I think I know what's going on, but... Oh, please, no...

I look around Sage's apartment, calling her name frantically.

I stop at the bathroom... and open the door... No. Nonononono... please...

I fall to my knees and bury my head in my hands at the sight of Sage's dead body in the bath, underwater... holding a knife and bathing in her own blood.
 
( OKAY I HATE YOU.
Not really but WHYYYY

EDIT: No idea why my internet is still working.. )

I stand up, not knowing what to do... She said it wasn't my fault, but... she was probably just trying to spare my feelings... I never told her I loved her... Why didn't I...?! It is my fault, I know it is.......
 
I call Helix after I finish my shower.

I feel much more at ease now.

Why?

I..... don't know. Venting to the bartender was actually quite nice. Of course, I left out most of the details.

Sometimes you just need to get a bit drunk to feel better.

I almost miss a call in my stupor, but I pick it up at the last second. "H-h-hello...?"

I only now realize I'd been crying.

"What's wrong? You sound upset." I walk to my bedroom. I need to sleep.

"S-sai?" I can barely speak. "Y-y-you need t-to come..." I take a deep breath. "C-come to Sage's apartment... n-now... p-please... oh, god..." I start crying again, unable to hold back my tears.
 
"What happened?" I set the phone on speaker and set it down. Guess I'll be changing my clothes.
 
I try to speak in between sobs. "It's... I-it's... S-Sage... P-please... Sh-sh-... She's..." I can't bring myself to say it, as if that would take away any slim hope that she could be alive.
 
"O-okay...." I hang up and wait on the couch, trying and failing to stop sobbing.
 
My boots clack as they hit the cement. "**** always seems to happen at this complex."

I push the door open slowly. "Helix?"
