She stares at it, shocked. Horrific photos lay across the page. There are blood stains on the edges, creasing and cracking the paper.
   The pictures are so blurry she could barely even see the depth of the suffering.
   It was... b a s i l. And he was.... he was...
   She reads the captions underneath slowly.
   The last one...
"Join me."
   She turns to the next page in terror.
   She feels like she's gonna hurl. She covers her mouth, trying not to scream.
   More pictures were taken. Instead of being outside, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 were in the bathroom. She could see the puss. The scars. The blood being poured out of his 𝐚𝐫𝐦.
Who... what...? why... who is th-
   She immediately slams the book shut.
   "what the 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 was that." She says through her racing thoughts.
Without saying another word, she takes the book at slides it back into the shelf.
She slowly walks over to the bed and sits down gently.
...
   w h a t... w a s...
   Her curiosity took over her body, and she got up and pulled another book off the shelf.
   It's their photo album.
   Mari...
   She opens to the first page.
   ...
   Her breathing gets raspy. She can't believe what she's looking at. She blinks, once, twice, to see if a difference view would await her.
   Her shaken hand touches the photos. A tear slides down her face.
   He.... No fucking way.
   Something else started to build up inside of her. Pure, and unspeakable rage.
   *CREEEEK*
   Slowly, the door to the bedroom is open.
   By him.
   That little bitch.
   She slowly looks up at Basil, who is standing there.... horrified. He didn't expect her to be looking around in his stuff.
   "You... 𝐲𝐨𝐮... 𝐖𝐇𝐘!?" She cries out, confused more then anything.
   Basil still has his eyes locked on the photo album, like he hasn't seen the damage done to it.
   All the pictures were scribbled out on black sharpie. Over Mari's face and all.
   She drop the album and stomps over to him, and grabs him by the collar, "WHY, GOD DAMNIT!!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?!? OUR MEMORIES... OUR LIVES..." she looks down at her feet and starts to shake. More tears stream down her face, unable to contain her feelings.
   "I... i..." Basil also looks down, but instead he's staring at the deep red photo album.
   "LOOK AT ME, YOU FUCKER-" she pushes him down to the ground, landing in the vomit.
   He stares at it.
   If you don't wanna see your own blood... then you'll see the blood of a poor... defenseless... animal.
   The sensation.
   The taste.
   Her face.
   Basil looks up slowly, seeing Aubrey's fists clenched. He grabs their album and crawls back.
   Aubrey, fuming and unable to think, bends down and tries to snatch the album from him.
   "LET GO, YOU 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇!!!" they play tug-of-war with the book.
   "B-b-but-" he refuses to let go.
   "BUT WHAT... HUH?! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!! YOU SHOULD JUST GO JOIN HER IF YOU CARE THAT MUCH!!!" It all fumbles out her mouth.
   ...
   Silence.
   Basil stares up with a gaping mouth, tears seeping out of his eyes, "w...what....?"
   Aubrey takes the book from Basil's grasp and runs out the room, slamming the door behind her.
   Basil is left there. Alone.
   He gets up and grabs the crimson book, opening it.
   He put his fingertips on the bloody edge, and a smile started to form on his face. A shadowy figure appears behind him, engulfing his thoughts all to one thing,
