"No, no... please... just let me forget... I had forgotten for so long... it hurts..." "Shut up! Your pathetic attempt at 'forgetting' has only crippled you!" Wyborough's shadow snarled. "It's just you and I now - no things to focus on to drown me out." "I buried them for a reason!" Wyborough cried out. "I don't care," the shadow hissed. "But I do!" "Oh no, it doesn't work like that. I'm you. I'm really just you. Whether you like it or not." Wyborough sobbed. "A twisted caricature of me." Her shadow hissed, "But still you nonetheless. Now, listen to me. Remember what I- you- we did." Silently, she refused to agree or disagree, her pain locking her up. "You..." the shadow spoke as if itself was as apprehensive to hear the words as she was. "Killed..." "Stop, please," she pleaded. "Your..." She closed her eyes tight, as if not seeing would numb the pain less. "Family." Oh, how she did. And how hard she fought to bury it. "Wyborough, I am you," her shadow said, "and oh, if you try to forget about what you did, I will ruin you." "More than the guilt has ruined me?" "Oh yes," it smiled. "Far more than the guilt ever will."
