[ nyx sits alone in their bedroom, their back against the door and their knees pulled up to their chest. silence is all that lingers, until the young, freckle-faced adult slowly pulls their phone out and turns it on. they scroll through pictures - through memories - until they finally stop on one: a picture of their old self ( the one who had forgotten it all ) with all of their friends smiling and posing in the back. nyx's grip on their phone seems to tighten as they take a shuddering breath before slowly rising up to their feet, their face red and their eyes puffy with visible tears rolling down their cheeks. ]
"owl in a cage ..."
[ nyx begins to walk around their room before stopping when they catch sight of their reflection in the mirror of their vanity desk. they frown sorrowfully and place their hand against the glass, staring into their reflection's eyes. ]
"you show your age,
your sweetness has ..."
[ nyx suddenly snarls in anger and knocks everything on the desk off, more tears welling in their eyes. ]
"... run FOUL!"
[ nyx turns around and stumbles away from the vanity desk, fresh tears now beginning to run down their face once again as they run their hands through their hair in an attempt to replicate the comforts once given to them at what felt like oh, so long ago. ]
"without a change, you're lost
exhausted by your time on ..."
[ nyx takes a deep breath and shuts their eyes, closing them tightly. ]
"stage!"
[ the screen lowers into a faded white background until it transitions into a small flashback, where nyx is seen sitting alone at their cousins café as they watch hanae enter it for the first time with jolie and evelyn. ]
"and you walked into my life
and light sparks in the dark!"
[ nyx smiles wistfully and hugs themself. ]
"life was suddenly thrilling and new!
what's between you and i—"
[ a silhouette of hanae appears behind nyx just as the white-haired person chokes back a sob, their hands slowly sliding down their arms before curling into fists as they turn their head away. ]
"—just a comfortable LIE!"
[ nyx turns around and steps through the hanae silhouette, making it disappear into black smoke as they pick up a framed photo of the woman. seeing a picture of her smile, nyx hesitates; their eyes softening for but a moment before they snarl again and shake their head. ]
"i'm the fool who believes when you look in my eyes ..."
[ nyx throws the photo aside and walks to the center of their room. ]
"prince, all alone
upon your throne
your power—"
[ nyx chokes back another sob and buries their face into their hands. ]
"—is—"
[ nyx wipes their tears away and turns around to the doors that lead out onto their balcony. ]
"—so ..."
[ nyx grips the handles of the balcony doors before pulling them open, allowing a strong breeze to enter the room and send the freckle-faced person's cape afloat, revealing that a pair of white wings had been sewn into it. ironically, it looks like an angel sprouting their wings for the first time. ]
"FRAIL!"
[ nyx begins to walk out onto their balcony, their gaze hung up in the night sky with a longing look as their tears fall from their face and onto the floor. ]
"you raise your voice
you have no choice
inside your gilded ..."
[ nyx releases a shaky breath yet again and lowers their gaze, their shoulders slumping in defeat at last. ]
"... jail ..."
[ from behind nyx, the balcony doors close, cutting the sight of them off from the viewers as the video ends, leaving nyx all alone ... yet again. ]
