On the trapeze, far above the crowds, I’m free. Flying high.
And she’s there, too.
Amélie.
Graceful and beautiful. Everything I ever dreamed of.

I was starting to think that my dreams could come true…
But now, my nightmares have come back to life

The poison is spreading, and I just hope I’m strong enough to survive.
