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.
