If all of the strength and all of the courage come and lift me from this place [locked from Annie]

[deep_red_bells]

I've tried. I've tried to be optimistic and hopeful and even let Annie makes jokes about it and I've failed miserably on all fronts.

Tonight is the first night of the full moon and her whole life could just...end. I keep trying to tell myself it doesn't have to be that big of a deal, because it's only three nights out of the month, but it's three nights that she'd have to be locked up, chained down, and alone.

I wouldn't deal well with it.

Everyone keeps telling me not to feel guilty. Put yourself in my place, then tell me you wouldn't feel guilty as hell.

I want the world to be fair. Just once.

I don't think that's too much to ask.
