You wake up tied to a chair. Your legs were wrapped in bloody bandages and your head still light from blood loss.
A concerned man with a knife was sitting in front of you.
(text-colour:cyan)["Are you sure you still want to do this?"]
(text-colour:orange)[
[["Why did you bandage my leg??"]]
[["You sure like to drag things out~"]]

He waited a little more. (text-colour:cyan)["...You good?"]
(text-colour:orange)[

(text-colour:cyan)["It isn't often I get to do this, so of course. Besides, you did tell me you wanted to take it slow."]
(text-colour:orange)["Didn't think it was gonna be //that// slow."] You snorted.

He got up after removing the rope and fidgeted with his hands nervously.
"You don't remember how you got here or why you are here...?"
(text-colour:orange)["…Both,"] you responded, rubbing your sore wrists.
(text-colour:cyan)["Do...you want to know why you are here?"]
(text-colour:orange)["Yes…?"]
(text-colour:cyan)["Well…you wanted to die, so I was going to kill you, and then…eat you."]
Your eyes widened. While that triggered vague memories, you weren't lucid enough to grasp them. Fear gripped you instead. You…became unsure of getting out of this situation alive.
(text-colour:orange)["I don't want to do this anymore!"] You blurted.
To your surprise, he sighed in relief.
(text-colour:cyan)["That's okay, I'm glad you told me now."] He offered a hand to you to help you up. (text-colour:cyan)["Come up, lets get you something to eat and I'll see if you need any stitches before you head out."]
(text-colour:orange)[

He smirked. (text-colour:cyan)["Sure, but you'll be back to crying in no time. No painkillers this time either?"]

(text-colour:orange)["...I don't think I can do this anymore." ]You finished.
He sighed in relief. (text-colour:cyan)["That's perfectly fine, I'm glad you told me now."]
He stood up and helped you get on your feet. You were a little wobbly on your scarred legs but he stabilized you.
(text-colour:orange)["Uh thanks…"] You mumbled.
He nodded and led you out of the dark room.

(text-colour:cyan)["Of course not! I told you before—well, I guess you don't remember—but I'll only do this if you want me to do this. It's your life, I'm not taking it if you don't want to give it to me."]
You stared up at him blankly, processing his words, before taking his hand and getting up. You were wobbly on your scarred legs but he stabilized you.
(text-colour:orange)["Uh thanks…"] You mumbled.
He nodded and led you out of the dark room.

The man blanched.
(text-colour:cyan)["Oh.....fuck." ]

He frowned. "I know you're…alive. I didn't draw that much blood…"
He gave you a few more moments before sighing. "I'm calling this off." He got down and cut the ropes with his knife. He got up and said as he started to leave, "Stay right here, I'll get you some water."

(text-colour:cyan)["Feel something?"]
You hesitated, unsure how to articulate your words. (text-colour:orange)["I've been numb…for so long. Life's become a cycle of the same, over and over again. I know it sounds stupid to put it like this…but I'm bored."]
The man looked at you puzzled. (text-colour:cyan)["You're bored…so you want to be cannibalized?"]
Flustered, you stammered back, (text-colour:orange)["It's…just I want to get close to death so I can feel alive."]
(text-colour:cyan)["But perhaps that boredom is a blessing? If you have nothing, there's room for something. What that dulleness of life there's a potential for more? ...Pretty sure they call that hope."]
(text-colour:orange)["Don't think I had that to start with." ]You snorted.
(text-colour:cyan)["No one does. You don't just have hope, you make it."]
You fell silent, mulling over the words.
(text-colour:cyan)["So...you actually don't want to be eaten?"]
[["About that..."]]

(text-colour:cyan)["Mmkay," ]He got up. (text-colour:cyan)["Since you're in a rush..."]
He grabbed your chin, resting the knife's tip under the side of your jaw.
(text-colour:cyan)["The pain will be brief,"] He said softly, (text-colour:cyan)["Just need to reach your medulla."]
The imminence of death gripped you. Before you could react to the pain, you ceased.
