"A-Anon.... why...?" >Adagio's eyes stop glittering, and she takes one last, slow sigh. >You take your hands out from under her, not even bothering to close her eyes, and pick up your .357mag revolver. >opening the cylinder and counting the five rounds left, you go down the list in your head. >Adagio? Check. >Aria >Sonata >Sunset >Rarity >Yourself   >The rest aren't even worth a round.   >You stand back up, clicking back the hammer to chamber the next round. >Just as you hear the click, the classroom door flies open. >Ah. >Hello, Sonata. >"Anon, what ha----" >Her eyes widen as she lets out a blood curdling shriek. BANG >You see a spray of fling up against the door behind her as she collapses. >The screaming students in the hallway provide a macabre soundtrack as you approach the classroom door. >Stepping over Sonata, you reenter the hallway, and look around at the masses of screaming and running students.   >It makes you chuckle. >Why would they be scared of you? >You have no quarrel with any of them. >Looking down to notice your ex's blood pooling around her head, you remove your shoe from next to her. >These are brand new shoes! >It would be such a shame to stain them with blood before you've even finished breaking them in. >You stroll slowly into the middle of the hallway. >The echo of a particular set of boots rattles your ears, and you look to your left to see a shadow disappear around a corner. >Black leather jacket. >Bright skirt. >You sprint down the hallway after her, and as you round the corner, see the women's bathroom door swinging back and forth. >Hello. >You head into the bathroom, in which you find four closed stalls and one running sink. >And gentle whimpering. "C'mooooon, babe, don't be like that." >You kick in the first stall. >Nothing. "Sunny... ya had to know this was coming." >Boot to the second door. >No one. >You look down. "Ahh..." >She freezes. >"Anon.... Anon, please... p-please..." "What?" >"I... I-I don't wanna die, A-Anon..." "Well, there's nothing I can do about that." >Your boot hits the door. >There she is, huddled up in front of the toilet. BANG BANG   >Damn it. >Two rounds on her? >You fucking moron. >Oh well.   >As you exit the bathroom, you have a choice to make.   >Aria, or Rarity? >Rarity, or Aria? >Decisions, decisions.   >Eh... >...Rarity. >Aria is only guilty by association. >She didn't talk to you enough to get a bullet. >But where to find...? >"A--... Anon...?" >Well. >You turn around slowly.   >There she stands, her makeup running thick down her cheeks.   >"Anon....darling... please, let's talk about this." >Oh great. >Here we go. >You lower your .357. >"Anon... I... I-I don't know... w-why... you're doing this, b-but... if you were to just... p-put down the gun a-and let me /talk/ to you..." >Naw. >You put the revolver up to your chin. >"Anon, WAI--" BANG     And thus, Anon died prematurely... ...jut like this thread inevitably will.   As will every one after this.     Jesus wept.
