An empty dream
A selfish, horrific vision
Passed on like the deadliest of viruses
- Rage Against the Machine, Snakecharmer
There were two figures in the Temple of Apollo. One male, one female. It was night; a new moon.
The female lay on her side, barely visible in the faint light of the stars; the man stood looking down at her.
She groaned, in pain. "Call him," the man said, his tone cold. She groaned again.
"Call Fugo. Call him here. Scream, and beg him to come save you."
The man's voice betrayed no hint of mercy. Only hostility and murder calcified into dark cruelty.
The girl only groaned. She did not move. Her arms and legs were twisted in directions they were not
meant to go. She could not escape on her own.
"Don't try and fight me," the man said. It was not a threat, but a statement of fact. "Manic Depression can
control you completely. You no longer have free will."
His hand shot out, clutching her throat. His fingers slid beneath her skin, into her flesh.
Her scream echoed through the darkness.

This is a story about people unable to take action.
They have no plans for the future, no comfort in memories. The past and the future are not for them; they
exist only in the present, struggling to no avail.
Do they struggle to find purchase? To move forward? To retreat? Who knows. They could not tell you.
The world that left them to this fate provides no answers.
They know only one thing for sure - the ground under their feet is crumbling, and they can no longer
remain still.
They have no tomorrow, no home. How can they find hope?
What can they lash out at, in their despair? Let us examine one boy, a boy in such a predicament. The
boy's name is Pannacotta Fugo. There are those who call him a traitor, those who dismiss him as one
without shame. His choices will decide what his fate will be.

narcotic reaction in the brain, as effective or more effective than
existing illegal drugs. This alteration remains temporarily when
removed from the stand. If the stand's thorns pierce someone directly their flesh reacts; their heart may
burst, their organs may melt - the effects are many, making the stand unpredictable.
