one [accidental voice]

[At first, all that can be heard is indistinguishable muttering. It seems strangely distant. The words become increasingly clear as their source becomes apparently nearer to the journal. They sound as though they are being squeezed through tightly clenched teeth. It is a voice that may be chillingly familiar to some residents...]

It's not fair. It's not fair. [This is repeated a few times, stringing closer and closer together each repetition.]

Martel... I abandon- [He can't bring himself to say it. It's too disgusting. A moment of only heavy breathing. The anger is practically palpable, and...there is the strain of something else too. Despair?] I didn't want to... I didn't choose to!

Martel. Martel...

[...Someone knows his name. Curious. ~~Sorry Johnny Yong Bosch, not important enough that he can remember your voice so well.~~]

I see no need to answer that question unless I know who asks.

It's Emil... don't you remember me?

I don't remember insignificant dogs very well.

I... I'm not a dog! I'm a human being!

Precisely.

So... you don't remember me at all?

Do you honestly expect me to remember every single trivial speck I come across?

No, but I... n-never mind. We can just become friends again here, right?

["Friends"? "Friends"...what does that even mean? "Friends" only turn their backs.]

I have no need for friends.

But everyone needs friends. No one can live all by themselves, no matter who they are. Sometimes you need other people to help you.

[He doesn't sound like he's entirely convinced of that himself, though.]

The only person I need is Martel.

[A pause. He sounds quieter.] Nobody else...can be trusted. Everyone betrays you eventually.

Everyone betrays you...

They all turned their backs and abandoned Martel. Trusting others brings you nowhere. Not a single person in the entire world deserves to be trusted.

No... that's not true! My friends have saved my life before and even risked their own to help me. They wouldn't... they wouldn't betray me! I won't believe it!

How pathetically foolish of you, to believe such naive lies. Your so-called "friends" can betray you in an instant.

They wouldn't...

[This is a laugh. But it is most certainly not a very jovial laugh.] How can you be so sure?

I... I don't know.

Exactly. Other people are entirely unreliable...

... I don't believe it. I don't want to believe it!

Believe what you will, and see where it gets you.

[Slamming the book shut angrily now. He doesn't want to hear any more of this... because there's a part of him that's starting to believe it.]
