Tam screams as she runs to where her sister disappeared just seconds ago. No, this has to be a joke. Her sister only threatened to do something, she'd never expect it to actually happen. After finally collecting her courage, she glances down the window. People crowding around a blurry scene. Wait, blurry? Why is everything blurry? Tams hands start shaking. What is happening to her? She didn't understand. The void, it disappeared. Hollowness had shifted into sorrow. She couldn't believe herself. Is she really feeling? Something cold hits her cheek. A tear. Another one follows. And another one and another one. In just a few seconds, tears are flooding down. She is crying. Grieving the death of her twin, Iris. Finally, after years, someone made Tam feel something. But she didn't like it. Are all feelings like this? Unexpected and overwhelming. No, she wouldn't live like that.

And within seconds, the decision was made. Tam closed her eyes as she climbed up the window and let go. Falling towards her surrounded sister. Then, the sorrow ended as one hit the ground once more. Leaving everyone completely silent.
