Better Surrender

Charlotte was my partner in military training, and she used to be a good person until one day, she accidentally killed another trainee. I pressed her to tell me why and she said, "They were the ones who were always bullying me," after which she was imprisoned, and now I met her again here.

Charlotte caught my leg as I jumped and threw me into the wall.

"Guakh..." Blood came out of my mouth.

"I don't want to kill you, and you better surrender, Charlotte."

"Give up, you say? Hahahaha, that's impossible; you know when I killed them, it was something fun... they screamed for mercy, but I didn't let them until I tortured them; that suffering, it was beautiful."

I got up, still holding both swords in my hands.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you hate it, but you've become like them now."

"I was wrong then; I should do it than for them to do it."

"You disappointed me, Charlotte; you're broken."
