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

Mark heaved a long sigh as he watched the drones return to their case. Only twelve Dimensional Rifts remained, but as he put away the drone case he couldn't help but frown.

Not only was the task boring, it was made much worse by the Sergeant forcing him to pedal from one Rift to the other. The fault is shared with the red hoods as well. Mark believed he would've been done by now if it wasn't for those two problems.

'Come to think of it, no one said anything about that bitch...'

Though it should've been an important matter to discuss, no one took the initiative to mention it the previous night. The whole thing had escaped his mind after meeting the members of Squad Four and with everything that occurred with Lara he never thought to bring it up.
