The footfalls of the Victim echo through the hall as he approaches her chamber. He stops at the doorway, and she feels his eyes on her.
"Why did you leave?"
She angles herself towards him. "I couldn't stomach being there any longer."
"We're going back. My birthday isn't over yet."
"Anything for you." She stands up and looks him in his eyes. "That is the bargain, is it not?"
Taking advantage of his silence, she slips past him back to the party.
The Victim lingers.

And I begin to think
that I am not the only
one of us who's called
And now I start to see
another piece around me
filling gaps in walls
Soon I begin to feel
something real is moving
out beyond my gate
And I begin again
cause what is moving
will leave behind my age
And in time
And in space
And inside
And in place
And in faith
Across this isometric view
all the lines that are drawn to scale are true
And now we can't know how the plot is laid
cause the artwork only gives it shape
And in time
And in space
And inside
And in place
And in faith
And if the shot looks wide
you gotta reach to save it still
cause it's better that you try
than lay in bed with all that guilt
And if your shot goes wide
and we're all just standing still
you'll be better for the try
You'll be better for your guilt
