*Spoilers for episode 97 and a bit more angst then Jaya, but it's still mentioned in the story/free verse*

The scream.

The scream that I thought I would never hear.

That stupid lever.

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid lever.

They told me to stop, but I didn't

My brother forced me off the wheel yelling at me to turn back.

I didn't listen.

It happened again.

I killed yet another.

I should be put to death myself.

The look my lover gave me when he returned to the deck.

The sadness in his eyes.

I killed his best friend.

He screamed for him, but I didn't listen.

I had a signal, but I didn't follow it.

That lever.

Why didn't I fix that stupid lever when I had the chance?!?

I destroyed a life.

He's stoned for sure.

There's no way in Ninjago that he wasn't stoned.

Dead.

Killed.

Jay hates me, I'm sure of it.

Even with his gentle arm around my shoulders I could see the tension in his eyes.

His heart.

I broke my Jay.

With a stupid mistake.

Mistake.

Mistake.

Mistake.

Why did I make this fatal mistake?

Hot tears streamed down my face.

The lever.

That stupid lever.

Hearts broken.

Friendships ruined once again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

My brother.

My lover.

My teammates.

And my best friend.

I'm sorry.

I didn't listen.

I didn't stop.

I was sore afraid.

That the darkness.

Would take over.

People were scared.

As was I.

If I only listened.

He'd still be with us.

Kai hates me.

Zane hates me. 

Lloyd hates me.

Jay hates me.

Everyone hates me.

Why did I pull the lever?

Why didn't I listen?

Why was I afraid?

Why did I let the darkness scare me?

I'm a murderer.

A freak.

A wimp.

Why am I here?

I only cause pain.

And violence.

Fatal.

Fatal

That stupid fatal mistake.

It's my fault.

All my fault.
