How long can one ignore the voices in their head?

Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. 

For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. 
As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. 

One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost.

The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him.

Maids VS Apocalypse

With the story having ended, Mark lifted his head from Lara's lap even though he wanted to remain in that haven forever. The maid had already allowed him to go beyond the agreed ten minutes so he didn't want to annoy her by overstaying his welcome.

'Why must all good things come to an end?' He sighed wistfully.

Lara unfolded her legs and sat on the bedside on his left. The conversation they had as he told her about the original Lara helped calm his nerves and allowed him to adjust to being in the company of such a gorgeous girl.

No longer was Mark too conscious of the maid's presence, leaving his heart filled with nothing but the warmth of being in her company. Not wanting that moment to end, the thought of extending their conversation came to mind, and he had just the topic for that.

Real Name.
