We were supposed to be together forever. A family.
Their nails splinter and leak pus and rot unseen over Joshua's clothes as they dig into his shoulders. Their vile whispers coil around the young man's heart and squeeze it in their vicelike grip.
"My negligence killed my sisters." Why didn't you save us big Brother? Why did you want us to die?! "They suffered because of me. Starved because of me. Stuck alone in a cave to die--"
Maggots are spilling from their mouths now and still they whisper and the insects wriggle and writhe on Joshua's shoulders and none of it is real and yet it is. Because this spirit is making it real for Josh. Tapping into his mental illness and feeding him hallucinations. Auditory, visual. A prison he can't escape.
Why did you do it?
"I....I didn't mean..." Excuses. Why? Why Big Brother? Why? Josh wants to sob the answer but he doesn't have the strength left. He raises empty green eyes to Alastor and swallows his reasons. "Because I"m a monster. And all a monster is good for is hurting others."

Why didn't you come save us, Joshua?
