ADEL I get inside my blankets, and pretend I'm sleeping. Pretend this is not happening again. Everything except this. ANCEL "Don't be afraid folk" I said, my tone is cute. When he glances at me I punch him directly on his nose. He screams. My nose, is bleeding, and I cover it. He's not ready. ADEL A bloody party. ANCEL He pushed me. He did it. And I see him taking the broken lamp. And hitting me in the head. It hurts. A lot. I fall down. I'm bleeding. ADEL All I can see is my brother staying in the floor. He's not coming up. He's glancing at me. I can feel blood in my head and a deep pain inside my chest. ANCEL I could see it. In the men's bathroom, in the park. I needed to do it. “there’s no save on them" doctors said, mom cried. Her twins wouldn't be alive. Her sons. Our father's boys. They could save one, and only one. Adel. I'm not real, I've never been. "If you kill me, you'll be dead man" He created me. “You created me" ADEL I see myself in the mirror. I can't see Ancel. Even though he's also in front of the mirror, I throw the lamp. The mirror gets broken. Hundred of pieces, one of them will be useful. ANCEL I know his mind created me. A perfect version of himself. He always wanted to be like this. But this version of his, me, is not perfect. Not perfect because He's part of it. ADEL The bloody party continues, I slowly feel confused and dazed. He's dead. I can see his body, but I can't find his soul. Neither mine. He was right, now we're both dead.
