“What do you want. Wanna go back to the shit Job. Fucking Condo world. watching sitcoms. Fuck you. I won’t do it”
“We’re Very Very PISSED OFF”
”Do not FUCK with us”
Then there were those like Zane who were so dead inside that emotions such as empathy, compassion, and guilt had no meaning to him, and were quite honestly alien concepts. In the old world, people like Zane hid their true nature. Trying to blend in with a world they found to be nothing short of tiresome.
Zane had struck just in time for Elena to come down the stairs and witness the event. Yet he did not stop with a single strike, as if he were venting years of repressed rage in a single moment Zane struck the deceased boy's skull again, and again, and again, before finally kicking what remained of it.

A flash of hope appeared on her face, naively believing that the young man still cared enough about her to stay behind with the others. But that hope vanished the instant she saw the cold and lifeless look in the man's eyes.
"Zane! You're the only one here who is armed! And like it or not, you are also the only one here cold-blooded enough to murder his former classmates without remorse… We need you, Zane..."
