Chapter 1: Extraordinary Girl Returns

Previously….It looks like there is another look-alike of Chris. But there was a difference where he was average height and looked timid. His platinum blonde hair that shimmered in the sun rays however it wasn’t white, there was a pale yellow tint to him. He wore a black, high-collared jacket with a zipper. Over this, he wore another jacket, this one unzipped and white, with several black block designs and a gray hem on the end of each sleeve. This jacket's collar was red and pleated and folded back. The legs of his pants were beige with several of what looked like buttons on the hem that appeared to attach the legs to the rest of the cloth, which were dark-colored. This boy didn’t watch where he was going and bumped into Chris and Gloria, where they were dazed to see this boy was familiar to them. “Jesse?” asked Chris with amazement. The boy smiled at him as he greeted the two, “Chris, Gloria!” He called. “Hi, how are you?” inquired Gloria. Jesse beamed with pride, “It’s good to see you guys, I miss you!” He said. Jesse was a lost cause as he had traumatic amnesia of his life that only Chris and Gloria know, after Jem told them about it when they were children. Jesse’s father was in the military as he was recruited in the war. The thing is, military recruiters always try and lure in young men and women by telling them the positives of signing up, but never really tell them the negatives and all responsibilities that come with it. Understating the responsibilities of the military then following it up with the incentive of money is a trick that usually works on many youth. Many recruits get that first shock of being in the military now when they are sent off to boot camp. There they are suddenly faced with a series of strict rules and guidelines that they weren’t used to, but they must adhere to otherwise they cannot proceed. During training soldiers are taught different chants and cadences to sing as they do their runs. During boot camp recruits aren’t allowed to do too much so many times they are stuck bored doing nothing. In their boredom they get to know one another better and build bonds as they learn to fight together. Many go into the military with the idea that they’ll gain respect and love from people back home. Often soldiers will come back – sometimes even during the war – and have a different perspective than when they started. Military training includes brainwashing and obedience. Soldiers are taught to do anything for their country and for the greater good without question or thought. Young Jesse witnessed his father breaking down and going insane, even in front of his mother. Then, there was the suicide of his father that shocked Jesse and his mind shattered as he pretend that it didn’t happen but if anyone says that in front of him, he’ll have a mental breakdown! Chris and Gloria had to be careful not to set Jesse off and have a good day about it. Since they run into one another; Chris, Gloria, and Jesse did some sight-seeing around the conurbation. In the field of rainbow panorama; the work is a tinted-glass circle that allows visitors to walk through the colors of the spectrum while taking in a panoramic view of the city. The three friends were amazed to see the metropolis in a different light.  Afterwards; Chris, Gloria, and Jesse were walking down the street as they talked & laughed with one another just like the childhood friends they were. “Wow! That was amazing!” Jesse sighed. Chris smiled, pleased with the day he had: “Feels like good times.” He retorted. Gloria looked at Jesse, “So, do you remember anything of these good times?” She questioned. Jesse shrugged, “Ah. Yeah, always do.” He said. “Sir, I have something for you.” A little girl said, she gives it to Jesse. Jesse was surprised, “For me?” He asked. The little girl smiled at him, “This nice young lady wanted me to give this to you.” She said. Jesse smiled at the girl and took it but when he read it, he read the letter that surprised him. “Who is it from?” asked Chris. “Who wrote it?” Gloria inquired. Jesse shrugged with a daze expression, “I have no idea, it’s anonymous.” He answered. The letter says, “Come down the rabbit hole of my palace, join in all the madness of a tea party and white roses are painted red.” The next minute, Jesse woke up in an opera house and was shocked as he stood up in horror. “Where the hell am I?” Jesse asked, looking around. He seemed terrified by this. “I gotta get out of here!” But then, he heard a voice that said, “You’re not going anyway my darling…” Jesse looked around frantically, “Who are you?” He called out. The voice called out in sultry-like voice: “I am your beloved; I believe you know me so well.” Jesse made his way while he solved puzzles and finding clues but he was startled around to hear creaks and doors opening & closing, he thought someone was here. “Why did you leave me, sweetheart?” The voice echoed. Jesse became disturbed by this girl. “Who was that girl?” He wondered. As he appeared in the room, he saw a mirror but jumped back when he saw someone in the room. The figure was in a dark cloak and its face was concealed. “Ah, you’ve arrived! Bring me one of my missing items, a green bottle. With absinthe potion.” Greeted the figure. Jesse searched around and found a green bottle in the dining room. The figure seized the bottle of green absinthe, startling Jesse in the process. “My past life was a tragedy, darling…See for yourself.” She said as she showed Jesse a vision in his mind of the past: In her life as an abused victim; Stephanie was first to witness her mother Clementine was drugged and drained as Boser appeared before his wife and forced himself upon her. He ripped her clothes and was inside her....The others didn't help; they thought she was crazy so they all laughed at her. Stephanie, Adreena, and Henrietta were forced to watch. Things got worse when that awful hurricane and Stephanie was looking for her sister however she was shocked to find the remains of her sister was her feet which had the magic shoes. Stephanie was in anguish however she decided to get her favorite teacher, Mr. Leighton, for help. When Stephanie got to the university, she saw the lights in Mr. Leighton's office was off so she went in and turned them on. What she saw was a horrifying scene of Mr. Leighton's corpse, his own nape was red and there was a puddle of that awful color on the floor! Stephanie flee the scene, crying and struggling for breath! However, she bumped into Brandon which she wish she didn't because she must look like a crying mess. But she managed to tell Brandon what had happened and they talked for awhile in a garden where they confess their love for one another. But then, they were discovered by the guards as Stephanie escaped while Brandon was being lead away to be beaten to death. Stephanie was in a panic as she tries to use a spell to save him however she heard a crunch sound of bones as well as a sickening sound of flesh ripped apart. Stephanie screamed, "BRANDON!!!!!" Soon, Stephanie learns that her father had murdered her loved ones and was shocked that she never knew her father could be that abusive! It wasn't until she was grown into a young lady when she found comments about her that read: "Stephanie is a selfish bitch who is going to get what she deserves; she is a pathetic little good girl who should die friendless and alone!" Stephanie is shocked as she doesn't know what is going on. She learns that she is competing with a new girl who is much more prettier. In walked in Marie Lewis, mysterious and gorgeous while also nice. Too nice. She has an hourglass figure. Stephanie doesn’t completely fit this mould she doesn’t feel valued in society. She resembled a thin model with no extra weight; Stephanie realizes she will never quite live up to the unrealistic image of Marie. Stephanie is jealous of Marie because she looks beautiful and is attracting the guy of her dreams, Blake, and she’s ashamed of admitting her enviousness. Stephanie cannot help but have a desire as she wants everything that Marie has so that Marie will come to her. She wants to figure out why Blake seduce other women and not her. She wants to drown herself in the women’s perfume because she believes that Sergei is attracted to her for the way she smells and is causing her pain. "I wish I was her. Why do you love her and not me?" She thought while watching Marie with Blake. She feels the same emotions of restlessness that is usually linked with having a crush on someone. In this case, she can’t sleep or get peace for a different reason: Blake is rebuffing her feelings by being with Marie. Stephanie doesn’t need Blake's company to enjoy herself tonight, and she’s also convincing him and herself that she will not need him in her life again. Tonight, her goal is to erase her troubles and enjoy herself with Marie. On her night out she’s gonna come across a brand new guy that will make her completely forget about her troubles with her current lover. Everyone’s gonna be talking about this night and how she’s completely obliterating the memory of the guy that’s messed with her by having a fun night with her girls, and hooking up with new guys. He had it coming, though, he knew that the day would come where she would get up, leave, and do it on her own. She pushes the buttons even more to express that she’s had enough, and that she’s doing perfectly fine without him in her life. She’ll be fine without the guy trying to bother her and ruin her evening, she’s got her girls and that’s what matters. However; something changes as she didn’t expect it to happen and it wasn’t her idea but because she was so drunk, it gave her the confidence to kiss a girl and not feel awkward about it. Basically, Stephanie was probably drunk, and is therefore confused with what she should do. It is hard for her to just kiss boys. It seems the traditional view of orientation being a fixed trait was mostly determined through research conducted on men. Girls, on the other hand, seem to have a fluid orientation, falling in and out of love with both genders over a lifetime — thus being magical while her kissing a girl and liking it is actually quite the norm, and really is no big deal. She just wanted to try to get a taste of how it feels like to kiss a girl. Stephanie also worries that her boyfriend won’t take this issue up quite seriously allegedly labeling her. However, it was a dream and Marie was amused to hear it. But Stephanie is going to pursue her desires over what logic and reason are advising her to do. The feeling of commitment that the person in this song is experiencing when faced with this sudden decision as good emotions that also come along with the constricting ones – perhaps going along with the love she feels for Blake. Stephanie has come to terms that Blake doesn’t love her and never will. She questions why she continues to fool herself into thinking this person will love her and to thinking that this relationship would work out in her favor. Stephanie doesn’t want to hear the excuses Blake has however she isn’t ignorant to her lover’s lies and doesn’t see the point of what he’s saying. She’s generally hurt by the things he has said to her. This is more of she fell in love with Blake and he’s saying that they’ll always still be friends. She criticizes her significant other’s pride and cowardice, which prevents him from ending the relationship. Stephanie is in denial and doesn’t want to put the relationship to an end. She knows that both her and Blake won’t end it, so suggest that they pretend everything is going well. It’s just that Blake cannot commit to her and only ever wants her when he is drunk or when they have contact. She doesn’t feel as if she completes him. She doesn’t want to know the truth because she’s tried for this relationship and can’t let go of what they may have once had. She strives for perfection and will not accept anything less. She is very bitter and feels she can’t let go of the relationship and her need for perfection as she realized this was a bad decision. She regrets breaking up and misses being part of the relationship. Stephanie was upset with her partner, but feels she overreacted by breaking up. She now wants to move on and forget about the breakup, but can’t let go of what has happened. She wants more and more so she doesn’t feel sad. She doesn’t want materialistic goods; she wants something from the heart. She wants love. For a far unexplained reason, Stephanie has been purged from a relationship that she is emotionally seized to. However, she’s wasted her time trying to be in a relationship with someone she simply cannot have. She feels stupid for investing so much time in an unrequited love, and now she’s fragile, she fears of being hurt again. She’s finally starting to give up on her task at hand, she wishes to become unnoticeable. Instead of her having to deal with herself, she’s passing it to her children. She realizes the destruction she has created, and just wants to be far from it. She wants to give affection to the person, but she gives too much. This happens with so many people that other people even say that she’s clingy. Even though she likes the attention, she does not have feelings for him anymore. Sometimes people are scared when they’re alone. She understands that it seems selfish of her to ask for another night with him since she was the one who broke their relationship off. Stephanie is searching for a reason to keep coming back to this guy. She gives lame excuses that she’s bored with him, but yet she still keeps coming around. As if she’s lying. Stephanie broke up with him, so she’s not really looking for a man to hold on to, she could’ve had him—but yet she can’t stay away. Even though she broke up with her lover, she wants him to hold her through the night and to help her get over him. This results in her doing this several times over a longer period of time, breaking up in the mornings and getting together in the evening, indulging in an evil, never-ending circle. However; Blake was black-balled because of his association with her and he quit training her! While Stephanie is with her overprotective friend name Caroline; Caroline doesn’t reassure Stephanie when she is frightened but instead reinforces her fears and puts some of her own into her in order to make sure she will come running to her when threatened so she can protect her. Her paranoia and over-protectiveness is only damaging Stephanie’s self esteem and social skills, making her think she needs her approval for everything. Her mother attempts to police her whereabouts on what she says or does as Stephanie becomes afraid to be vulnerable with other people in part because of her mother putting her fears into her. All the things she was deprived of while being sheltered from the world. Stephanie didn’t feel like herself trying to maintain her past innocent image and this has robbed her of herself up until this point. She drastically changed her image, and was introducing a new look of herself, who is more mature, almost a woman, but at the same time much sexier. Being sheltered prevented her from understanding who she was and what she wanted. She prefers to make mistakes and figure things out on her own than to feel restricted by authorities her whole life. Her mother is telling her how she should about what image to present to the public. She doesn’t feel the image she’s presenting is actually what she’s like though and wants to truly be herself now. Stephanie has decided that now is the time for her to get the things she’s been deprived of while being sheltered. Stephanie is sick of her overprotective mother, she is sick at how Caroline is suffocating her emotionally and left her out of anger! That's when Stephanie discovers that Caroline is in the hospital for attempting to take her own life a few weeks ago and goes to see her. In these past weeks, Caroline has been using it for so long that she has started believing that this mask is the real her. The pain that she feels, as she tries to convince whereas if she tries to touch them, in the sense she tries to meddle with her persona, she feels the bitter pain of it being so badly broken now. Her persona wants to make her believe that what she is going through is fake, and when she has gone through it all she will then understand that it wasn’t real. She’s wondering if people would love her looks or her actual personality. She’s in love with Blake but they knew that a relationship between them couldn’t work well, so he had to leave. But, she’s not able to let him go. She’s tormented by thoughts of him every day, and she knows she’s being childish by holding onto his memory this long, but she feels she needs to have him with her until the memories leave by themselves. Her emotional wounds won’t get better, and it hurts so bad emotionally that she thinks she can physically feel it, and that there’s too much time that she’s put into this thing that it’s unable to be erased. She and this guy were very close, and losing him was like losing a part of her. Time can’t erase the wounds of her loss, and she doesn’t know it but she’s opening the wounds by holding on to him. She loved him very much, and cared deeply about him. Then, he left her, and she became nothing. She never realized how much she needed him until the day he left, and she can’t stop wanting him back, her mind is slowly slipping into insanity. His presence, his grace, how he made her feel, made him her whole world. She’s then taken apart after he’s gone, with only shattered memories of the past times they had, to hold on to! Memories of him are slowly driving her insane. Images of him haunt her, and she hears his voice in her mind. She can’t help needing him, but she is desperately trying to hang on to what she has left of her sanity. She knows that their relationship had been a bad idea from the beginning, and she’d had to protect him from his fears, and she never got anything back, but she unwittingly gave all of herself to him. And now that he’s gone, she can’t live knowing that he’s not here. It wasn't until Stephanie is shocked by more hateful letter as she went to confess to Caroline, who was in the hospital, and told her: "I know you hate me, but we were best friends once and I need you to read this. I think I'm in serious trouble and there's nothing you can do, but I need you to read this so you understand. I know we haven't talked in awhile. It's been forever, but what happened to you wasn't my fault. At least it wasn't entirely my fault. I know everyone thinks it was, but I would never do anything to hurt you." Caroline looked at her with a glare, "You betray me..." She said. Stephanie looked down, "I know...I'm so sorry." She admitted. That's when the unexpected happens: She has cut herself, and is bleeding while screaming: "You're perfect! I'm not! You've become obsessed with the spotlight are now simply the puppets of others, the fool everybody laughs at!" Stephanie is horrified and ran off! She arrives at home and she is paranoid of her stalkers has stopped outside her house. So she’s locking the door and not looking back because she’s scared. She’s getting changed — undressing in the dark and not letting them see her, hiding from them. They’ll never know the way that what they’ve said has freaked her out and made her paranoid. She can’t believe they’d try and get her to do the things they want her to do, which is whatever the stalker’s demands are. They’re haunting her in her dreams and she’s terrified. They’ve all got her. She can’t sleep, because then she’ll experience these nightmares. They think she belongs to them. They’ve got her cornered, so just come out and get it over. She paid the price for choosing a sensational life of phenomenal and vigor. No one wants to be stalked or harassed! The people watching her might want to intrude but can people really see her? She fears anyone calling her at all. Everyone could be watching! Everyone is a suspect! She fears of being watched by authorities. The feeling persists, she has too much time on her hands and she spends it alone. Perhaps it’s a bad dream or she’s tired and is experiencing sleep hallucination. And yet whatever she does can be seen by everyone. And the people she loves are those that she fears and her life no longer belongs to her! Stephanie wished she was a blonde in her teen years, she thinks that she was robbed of the ideal teenage girl’s dream; popular, surrounded by boys, always going to parties or hanging out with her friends. She wants to go back in time to waste her life as a teenager. She wants to make mistakes, and worry about petty things, and rebel just because she can. She is depressed, she doesn't want to go out or deal with the world. She wants the drama and carnage that come with being a stereotypical teenager, and naturally, she also wants to eat rich, fattening desserts all day. She knows that the happy and carefree teen doesn’t exist, but that’s exactly what she wanted to be. She faked it all throughout her teen years, yet she wishes she hadn’t been so innocent and transparent. Stephanie wants to be nice and virginal because, to everyone else that seems more desirable than being an easy harlot with promiscuous behavior. She wants back her chastity, and the empowerment it gives because she feels so empty. She wants to get hammered, she wishes she wasn’t so careful and that she did those immature things. She wants passion and violence, but she also enjoys the simple things. Stephanie feels like she’s destroyed her chance to have her simple moments and she'll hate herself for it. She has that high school loser feeling bad about herself, but also feels like she’s a narcissist! She was incredibly disoriented, having found that being a teen was actually a really confusing ordeal. She was supposed to be testing her limits, she was supposed to be happy, going out there and making a fool of herself while she was still an adolescent. But instead, she stayed sensible and has made a fool of herself in the future. Now, she regrets wasting so many years of her life not doing fun things. Youth, in general is supposed to be a carefree time. Full of friends, happiness. But since Stephanie never really had any of this, and spent all of her time worrying and hating herself she never experienced much joy in her short adolescence. Stephanie wishes people looked up to her when she was a teenager. She wished everyone liked her and gave her respect. She wanted to be invited to all the coolest parties. She wishes she was actually interested in trying to be Prom Queen in high-school. Stephanie is used to this sort of thing, having to cling to her drugs or dolls or such to make it through life. This isn’t anything new to her; she goes down into oblivion and is done with everything. There is something missing in her life, she feels the void while hanging with all her fake friends. She’s being friends with identities that she doesn’t relate to at all. Even she puts on a mask that conceals her true self, adding to the sense of mystery. This could be the low point in her life. Her depression, her hopelessness. She takes green tablets for the morning, blue capsules in the afternoon and yellow gel-caps in the evening. Just to give herself some peace but with all these pills; they cannot make her happy and she gets rid of them. Everything from her is not fine, she hallucinates as she could hear those hurtful words again: "Stephanie is a selfish bitch who is going to get what she deserves, she is a pathetic little good girl who should die friendless and alone!" She looked around her apartment where she can see there is nothing but saw herself as somebody different, someone more beautiful and perfect but it was nothing like her. More like Marie, who was laughing and talking with Sergei. Stephanie shouted: "What the hell are you doing with him?!" But she turned to her and said, "What does it look like you pathetic, good girl? I'm here with your boyfriend. You think anybody's gonna love you, you're disgusting. Nobody wants to be around a selfish, friendless bitch." Marie and Blake laughed at her, and then Stephanie could hear more laughter as she couldn't see where it was coming from. "What's going on?" She thought with a panic. The laughter died down where Caroline is hugging her as she whispers to her daughter, "I won't let them hurt you sweetheart. You are my good girl. You don't need friends, you don't have to put on an act to please others." Stephanie tried to pull away however Caroline won't let go and Stephanie pushed her away as she shouted, "I AM NOT YOUR SWEETHEART!!!!!" Just then, she is arrested and is brought before Caroline, who is a judge, as she condemns Stephanie for selfishness and hurting people who loved her, and then sentences her to be exposed by stripping her clothes off. Stephanie covered herself but gasped at how her body is branded with words on her skin: "LIAR", "TRAITOR", "THIEF", "SELFLESS BITCH", "PATHETIC", "FRIENDLESS", and "ALONE". People chanting: "STEPHANIE REDFORD IS A LIAR!!!! STEPHANIE IS A TRAITOR!!! STEPHANIE IS A THIEF!!!! STEPHANIE IS A SELFLESS BITCH!!!!!" STEPHANIE IS PATHETIC!!!!! STEPHANIE IS A FRIENDLESS LONER!!!!"" She saw Blake, Caroline, and Marie also chanting as she covered her ears. And she screamed, "LEAVE ME BE---I DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!" And she runs out screaming. She runs while she tries to escape her delusions which were she saw that wasn’t real: Being replaced, being dumped, being smothered too much, and being betrayed. Nobody else could see the branded words on her skin. She felt paranoid, delusional and then she was later discovered by authorities where she slept near an alley way as she being guided away. She lied there motionless in that room of the facility. And she died on the inside. Jesse shivered at the sight as she saw the figure was gone but he heard her voice again. “The world showed no compassion to me! And you won’t make that mistake to me!” The figure proclaims, “I am your Angel, come to me my angel.” Jesse wandered through this nightmare as he wondered about this mysterious figure while he try to search over the room to find a way out of here and looked at the map of the building as he managed to find the way out through the garden. The dark cloaked figure surprised Jesse once again, “I see you made it, bring me a red rose with a black ribbon. It’s another one of my items.” Said the figure. Jesse found the rose with a black ribbon tied onto its stem in the room that represented the powder room and Jesse brought the rose to the figure. The figure took the rose, once again alarming poor Jesse as she said: “Remember Chris…Do you remember when we first met?” She waved the rose while Jesse thought in his mind, “Another vision?”

Jesse doesn’t even know about the existence of Rebecca. Jesse knew that they would give up their whole life just to be with her, and they are taking over their life. Rebecca has never seen Jesse in a while and so has no shared experiences except perhaps a concert the fan has attended. In other words, the fan knows a lot about Rebecca, but of course Rebecca knows nothing of Jesse is still existence. God is everywhere to those who believe in him. All she had to do was search hard. All good that resemble him are coming out. Jesse is in love with Rebecca, that was the love of his life, but they knew that a relationship between them couldn’t work well, so she had to leave. But, he’s not able to let her go. Jesse is tormented by thoughts of him all the time, and he knows he’s being childish by holding onto her memory this long, but he feels he needs to have her with him until the memories leave by themselves. His emotional wounds won’t get better, and it hurts so bad emotionally that he thinks he can physically feel it, and that there’s too much time that he’s put into this thing that it’s unable to be erased. Jesse and Rebecca were very close and losing her was like losing a part of him. Time can’t erase the wounds of his loss, and he doesn’t know it but he’s opening the wounds by holding on to her. When she was upset and crying; Jesse would wipe away the tears of Rebecca’s depression and make her feel better and also protect her from her fears. Although they stayed with her after they continued to protect her she cannot seem to let go of them and their memory. Jesse loved her very much, and cared deeply about her. Then, she left him, and he became nothing. Jesse never realized how much he needed her until the day she left, and he can’t stop wanting her back, his mind is slowly slipping into insanity. Memories of her are slowly driving him crazy. Images of her haunt him, and he hears her voice in his mind. He can’t help needing her, but he is desperately trying to hang on to what he has left of his sanity. She is beginning to realize that he never cared about her, and she tries to tell herself that he’s not worth her tears, but she can’t stop believing that he was innocent. She was too in love to see his flaws, and that is what is leading to her downfall. However, Jesse came across Tunek who told him about Rebecca: Rebecca lives a very unstable life throughout the course of life. On a superficial level, she’s literally going to leave her lover for whichever drug dealer can get her the highest bid. Rebecca is getting ready to take the leap to faith, but this can only happen after she has found an object of belief which is sufficient! If they go ahead and get high, she will be unable to continue holding a meaningful conversation. Rebecca is a reserved girl, probably due to her upbringing which seems to find peace in her unstable life in the gaps that make others uncomfortable. As a promiscuous girl, she slept with a lot of skater kids who spent all their time watching the big skate videos of the day. Rebecca is all alone with some money, and the guy who’s going to get her the highest has a number for the dealer. Solving the problem for both of them. The guy at the door knows anyone asking for her is buying drugs so he makes things simple. Rebecca goes to parties a lot. All these parties are the same: They start out awesome and end badly. Everyone’s having a good time, but ultimately, the substance abuse at these parties ends up going beyond booze and weed leads to hard drugs. Things get out of hand and people start becoming mean and bitter, then aggressive, which leads to fighting, injuries, beat downs by cops. Instead of being angered by the interruption of his service, he is pleasantly surprised by Rebecca’s commitment to sharing what she’s learned with the congregation and allows her to proceed without interference. Rebecca is stumbling in looking like a junkie. She fell off the face of the earth and descended into drug-addled debauchery. Here, when she comes back bruised and battered from the party scene, it’s her resurrection herself into a new light from the old life she was in previously. But Rebecca is never mention again. Then, Jesse has another panic attack as he fears for Rebecca could be dead. But he is calmed down and he is confused. Poor guy, he doesn’t what’s real or what’s not. Stephanie uses her plan, Ingrid approves although she doesn’t agree with this. Jesse is still stricken with grief and sorrow over his once love of Rebecca. With Jesse's will nearly under Stephanie's total control, she brings him as she disguises herself to look and speaks like Rebecca. Stephanie as Rebecca seduces Jesse and the two were together, which completes Stephanie's manipulation of Jesse. The morning after, Jesse regains his memory, breaking Stephanie's control over him, and comes to his senses. Jesse leaves Stephanie, and wonders how all the pain he has caused could come about as a result of his good intentions in searching for the answers to the meaning of life. He concludes that it is impossible to find these answers on Earth. Heartbroken, he realizes that he will never be able to reunite with Rebecca, nor find the answers he seeks. He looks back on the suffering that he has caused to everyone he knows, and concludes that it can never be undone. During this; Jesse could see a memory in his mind of Stephanie after she escaped and was trying to conceal herself: Stephanie sat quietly in the back seat of the car, which is driven by a young lady with platinum blonde hair and her bangs parted from her face. Next to her in the passenger seat was a young boy with tan skinned and white hair in a buzz shaved hairdo. He looked like a bodyguard, because he had a gun in his hand. Stephanie was staring at her hands, earlier she had been wandering the streets when the strange young lady with a Cheshire grin stopped and offered her a ride. Stephanie tried to refuse however the lady insist out of kindness, she then include that she would include Madame Sarita, Lulu, and Meredith. Stephanie was surprised by this, so she takes the woman's offer. "I don't think we've been introduced." the woman said in the driver's seat, interrupting Stephanie's reverie: "So, where did you from? Walking by yourself?" asked the woman. Stephanie looked up, not meeting her eyes in the review in the mirror, however she pretended to. "I...I don't want to say much personal information if that's OK." replied Stephanie, nervously. The woman nodded, understanding. "Yeah, OK. I won't probe anymore." She said, looking at the road. "But I do have a question." "Sure." whispered Stephanie. "You've heard of Sirk, right?" asked the woman. Stephanie looked up, "You--you know about that place?" She asked. Eirene gritted her teeth and clenched the steering wheel tightly, "You mean that wretched place?" She said in a biting tone. "Yeah, Sirk....His face is the stuff of nightmares.” In the van were a muscular man with a jumpsuit that outlined his chest quite well and an Amazonian beauty with a lean figure and fibrous arms that are svelte. "So, who was that girl?" asked the Amazon beauty. "I don't know, but she looks like a trouble." said the buff guy. He turned around to see Madame Sarita, Lulu, and Meredith. Then he leaned over and whispered, "So, why are they with her?" "How should I know?" muttered the Amazonian beauty.  At once; Eric, Luke, and Mynfray appeared as they told the feminine lady about what happened when they confronted Katherine Donovan: They had called out, “BEWARE STRANGERS, WE ARE TRUTH AND JUSTICE AGAINST THE LIKES OF DISCRIMINATION!!!”  Katherine and the others were startled. They turned around to see three teenagers—there were two boys and one girl. The first boy was dark haired, fair-skinned and slim kid. The second boy was also thin but he was black with curly trimmed hair. And the girl has blonde hair that reached the nape of her neck. “I am Eric Korrick!” announced the first boy. “I’m Luke Havengal!” hollered the second. “Mynfray Chevy, and don’t you forget it!!!!” shouted the blonde, accidentally fired her gun and nearly hitting those two. The boys glared at her, “MYNFRAY!” They both said. Mynfray felt bad, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to!” She said. Katherine was baffled by this sight. “Man, misfits aren’t they?” Mogue said to her softly. “You betcha.” Katherine muttered back. “They’re teenagers, how about that?” Sven remarked in a whisper. The trio turned to them and one of them ask, “Hey, have you seen someone by the name of Katherine Donovan?” The others chorused in agreement: “Yeah, Katherine Donovan.” Katherine had a sneaky smile on her face, “Hmm…Katherine Donovan, Katherine Donovan…Isn’t she that Freak Girl?” She inquired. “Yeah, yeah!” The trio agreed with extreme delight. “And she was once a hero?” asked Katherine. “Yes!”  The trio exclaimed with approval. “And she is an atoner after falling into darkness?” Katherine solicited. “YEAH!!!!” The teens yelled. Katherine and the others walked off as she said, “Nope, sorry. Never heard of her.” This was disappointed to these three adolescents. “Awww!” The trio moaned. As they were walking away, Mogue and Jean made fun of them. “Wow, they seemed so smart than we thought.” Teased Mogue, laughing. Jean agreed while he sniggered, “What a bunch of retards!” Mogue, for once, agreed with him: “Ha, right.” Then, Katherine begins to sense a click of a gun and she grabbed the boys and forced them down while shouting: “GET DOWN!!!!” They ducked down as gunfire went off! “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, KATDON!!!” shouted Eric. Katherine, Mogue, Sven, Mason, and Jean looked behind with shocked expression as well as fear. “Yeah, who do you think we are? Stupid?” remarked Luke. “Don’t move a muscle!” Mynfray threatened. The trio glared at them as the leader beckoned her, “OK, Katherine! Get on over here, you’re coming with us!” Realizing the situation was bad; Katherine glared at them and fakes a smile, “Sorry, ain’t gonna happen!” She retorted. Then she said to the others, “RUN!!!!” And they scampered away. “HEYYYYY, COME BACK HERE!!!!” shouted Mynfray. Katherine and the boys ran away from these kids but found that they were a lot faster than they thought. However, Lara stepped in along with the others and took down the trio!

Subsequently; Stephanie meets the members of the mysterious woman’s crew: Heron Hillel, Magnolia Hollis, Ferris Gabor, Acacio Cherubino, Ronald Palmer, Sapphire Maslan, and Corey Hardy. Remembering his past, Heron sees his favorite memory, his father taking him to see a parade, as his passage. His father asked him to overcome his difficulties in life and help the people around him that were in difficult situations and to be an awesome person who would stand up for the weak and be confident in himself. The father is saying that he will soon die and join the supernatural procession that leads the patient into the Beyond. Heron is reminiscent of his childhood and the memory of his father as he slides down into the world below. His father is asking him if he will be some kind of hero for the miserable people when grown up. Death has constantly an eye on him because he will have to die soon. He feels like he’s being watched yet he is alone, He fells lost yet he knows where he’s going. And the people he passes along the way think he’s crazy or insane, also in the last line the narrator is assuring the patient that he’ll not be forgotten. The people who knew him will still have to continue their lives, going through the pain, but eventually getting better. His friends and family will never forget him, consoles the patient by assuring him that life will go on, even though he’s presumably dead. Something stirs up so much memories and emotions that the words and music while doing a great job to try and explain it somehow fall short. Everyone’s dreams die at a point, but if anyone wallow in them, then the world will wither in other people's eyes. So paint it black by becoming numb to it and move on. Be one's self are no matter who tells that person otherwise – dreams only die if let them. He knew how even though the person is dead, he will still live on through their memory. and he will still carry on their legacy. And even as his father is gone, he lives to carry on his memory! Heron is left behind. It was about how he’s always had trouble through his life, and how he’s carried on until now, as he dies. Everyone around him is disappointed in him because he didn’t follow along with him but he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what everyone else thinks. It is a testament to his own integrity and perseverance through adversity and peer pressure. Basically telling the world to go beat on someone else because he will never succumb to the pressures to change put on him by society. He won’t let the fact he’s dying keep him from playing his part in the world. He’s the savior now, the dying savior, and he won’t let death get the better of him. Heron won’t apologize for who he is or explain, no matter how the society puts pressure on him. The Patient won’t apologize for his death, nor will he explain why he must go. He’s not ashamed to finally admit that he’s led a broken life – he’ll show his metaphorical scars to the world. The true hero is not the hero most stories tell about. Normally, it is an average man and the ending is not happy. His dad wanted him to be the savior of the broken, beaten and battle scarred, something that he simply became and already was. By not giving up, staying true to his dreams and persevering past sorrow, he stood up for the damned and became the heroic man he was meant to be. He’s daring the people to try and stop him they won’t. He wants it so bad so he’ll have to kill him to stop him. Heron cast off the mask that they are using to cover up their true feelings and let their despair at the current situation show. Dressing for one's self and mix all those hateful emotions out. With all this trying to be someone else, he is losing sight of who he really are. If he isn’t happy with himself, he is not alone! He just living a day in his lives. Heron is an intelligent but he often get teased. He is asking the outcasts that people don’t know how to appreciate to unite, and kiss this miserable society goodbye. He could be asking his loved ones not to mourn his death and instead celebrate his life. People are the first to be full of sorrow and regret. The patient at this point is screaming and crying out for somebody to save him, because he thinks that he’s much too young to die at this moment in time. However, his disease is terminal, and it’s gonna kill him anyways, very soon. If anybody can hear the patient just come and take him out of there! Magnolia lives a very unstable life throughout the course of life. On a superficial level, she’s literally going to leave her lover for whichever drug dealer can get her the highest bid. Magnolia is getting ready to take the leap to faith, but this can only happen after she has found an object of belief which is sufficient! If they go ahead and get high, she will be unable to continue holding a meaningful conversation. Magnolia is a reserved girl, probably due to her upbringing which seems to find peace in her unstable life in the gaps that make others uncomfortable. As a promiscuous girl, she slept with a lot of skater kids who spent all their time watching the big skate videos of the day. Magnolia is all alone with some money, and the guy who’s going to get her the highest has a number for the dealer. Solving the problem for both of them. The guy at the door knows anyone asking for her is buying drugs so he makes things simple. Magnolia goes to parties a lot. All these parties are the same: They start out awesome and end badly. Everyone’s having a good time, but ultimately, the substance abuse at these parties ends up going beyond booze and weed leads to hard drugs. Things get out of hand and people start becoming mean and bitter, then aggressive, which leads to fighting, injuries, beat downs by cops. Instead of being angered by the interruption of his service, he is pleasantly surprised by Magnolia’s commitment to sharing what she’s learned with the congregation and allows her to proceed without interference. Magnolia is stumbling in looking like a junkie. She fell off the face of the earth and descended into drug-addled debauchery. Here, when she comes back bruised and battered from the party scene, it’s her resurrection herself into a new light from the old life she was in previously. In the beginning; Ferris is but a baby born into the world, and sees the water as warm and the sky as blue, they have a positive and harmless outlook on life. As a child, Ferris begins building a mental wall between himself and the world so that he can distance himself from the pain of life, such as having to grow up without a father, killed in battle. With bitter satisfaction, Ferris recounts how the teachers of his childhood would stop at nothing to humiliate their students and crush the children & their individuality, but would then get their comeuppance at home where they suffered the abuses of their wives. But he is against the cruel teachers of his childhood whom he blames for contributing more bricks to his wall of mental detachment. Ferris’s overprotective mom trying to control every aspect of her life; the mother of the child is protecting him and thus once again trying to make him stay away from the pains of life, but really what it’s doing is putting another brick in the wall and distancing him from the world. The fear induced by war and the anxiety felt by a country still transitioning from conflict back to normalcy as he lights out on his own into the world. Now all grown up; Ferris wonders how he will fill the remaining gaps in his mental wall. Ferris becomes a rock star and throws himself recklessly into the hedonism of the dark side of life! After calling home and discovering that his girlfriend is having an affair, Ferris invites a groupie back to his hotel room before emotionally erupting, destroying the room and chasing the groupie away. Ferris mentally lashes out at his adulterous girlfriend, between threatening her and begging her to come back to him. Ferris decides to completely isolate himself from the injurious world full of darkness! Ferris bids farewell to the outside world as he locks himself in his room and places the last brick in his wall. He begins to wonder whether he’s made the right decision in completely isolating himself from the world. Ferris begins to realize the expansiveness of his wall and the consequences of his self-imposed reclusion. Though there will almost always be personal and social barriers erected out of fear, oppression, pain, and isolation, it’s the job of every socially conscious individual and community to never rest in tearing down the walls that separate us. Ferris recalls the last morning of his father’s life, who was killed in the battlefield. Ferris feels betrayed by his country and those in power for sending his father to war and subsequently treating his sacrifice as just another statistic.

In Corey’s life was a wreck that turned good: Mrs. Hardy has been left to raise a child alone. Captain Hardy is missing in action, presumed dead. Captain Hardy became missing in action and it is believed that he was killed. Mrs. Hardy is alone having her baby, name Corey is born! A few years later; Captain Hardy turned out to be alive as he finds his wife with a lover. This is a threat. Earlier; Captain Hardy was missing in action, reported dead. He managed through by thinking of his wife. But there was violent action previously as Captain Hardy killing his wife’s lover. Corey witnesses the violence. The parents tell their son that nothing happened forget it. This buckles under the pressure of cognitive dissonance. He takes their words to heart and develops a psychological condition! He has been left traumatized. In his youth; Corey has been rendered to his mentally scarring from the traumatic events of his life as he lives in a world of something new only to him. He seems to suffer from a something where he interprets sights and sounds as color and music. Even though Corey seems almost insentient to the outside world, inside his mind he can still think and experience life. He isn't within the average are able to see things differently than what just the average person can see. He is describing is the form that his sub-consciousness has chosen. All of the sights and sounds around Corey are being interpreted by him as music. His parents have no time for Christmas. They believe in old men in red coats, going down chimney and getting to homes the world over in only one night! Since Corey is unable to hear, see, or speak he is completely ignorant as to what Christmas or religion is. As he is completely unable to do either of these things, his parents are worried about his future, and that he won’t be accepted into heaven since he can’t practice religion. The parents think Corey’s inability to hear about the Son of Man has cost him his soul. If, as Evangelical claims, the only path to salvation is through accepting the Son of Man what about people who have never heard the Sacred Good News? Billions of people have lived and died without even hearing about Evangelical and they are condemned in hellfire. Since Corey is like this his cousin can’t play with him so he tortures him. His cousin probably has no friends to play with because of the fact that he is a bully. His cousin complains that it would take Corey a week to find him, considering he can’t see or hear. His cousin feels no need to use politically correct language! On the contrary, dehumanizing Corey allows his cousin to feel even less that there is anything immoral in torturing him. Of course, he also seems to think that the only reason to behave well is the fear of retribution; since Corey can’t tell on him, there can be none. His cousin threatens to drown Corey in a bath tub; he wants to burn Corey, to see if there is any reaction. After seeing what his cousin did to Corey, his parents grapple with the idea of leaving him with his uncle who they know is dangerous, but they decide to leave him with his uncle anyway as they feel a need to have some time to themselves. When Corey’s uncle is left to watch over him, he abuses Corey’s psychopathic disabilities and forcibly violated him. His uncle proceeds to abuse Corey, continuing the trend of his family members exploiting his disabilities to their own personal gain. In his teen years; Corey meets Hawkins who is a hustler, then this couplet could have a dual meaning: he made his hooker attractive, and her hustler taught her how to act aphrodisiac. Corey has just visited the Queenie, and been given many hallucinatory drugs. Queenie takes Corey and after giving him hallucinogenics, tells his parents his mind is alive. However he is still traumatized. The hooker makes the boy Corey into a man by being immoral with him. One day; Corey's father found someone who could relive Corey of his deaf, dumb, and blind afflictions, and that he should be immediately seen to help Corey’s and their sadness. The Doctor is perplexed that Corey is medically fine but there is something psychological preventing him from interacting with the world. He seems to be calling for the world to see him not as a medical problem but as a human being. The doctor hints that if Corey regains his senses, it might not necessarily be a good thing. It would take a lot to undo the years of isolation. Corey is fascinated by his own reflection as he must overcome this self-perception to be able to hear and speak and see. After the procedure; Corey’s mother is trying to reach Corey. Corey’s trauma over seeing his mother’s lover killed way back in his past. It seems to have manifested itself as a severe trauma, rendering him incapable of communicating with anyone. But he is aware of himself – the problem is entirely psychological. This image he has of himself must be destroyed – both figuratively in his mind and literally in the mirror – for him to regain his senses. The news of Corey’s cure spreads by way of the newspapers, allowing more people to come to Corey’s cause. Corey revels in his new found consciousness and decides to use his following to show them his experiences. The cinema’s closed. It’s implied that the all-night watchmen have been leering at people in the movie-theater! There is a punky young man living in the city.  He is pinned to events nobody can’t recall too well and he hates people but some folks like Acacio as they have good feelings about him. The weary guests are asked to leave the warmth of the all-night theater, having slept on pictures that others only dream on. Like Acacio, the all-night watchmen are stuck in a fantasy world. Unlike Acacio, they’re not just about to have the trip of their life, resulting in one of the greatest concept albums ever made. Cars are just coming out on the road. Beneath his leather jacket he holds a spray gun in big letters on the wall leading underground. Acacio is a vandal but for spray painted with casual sideways glances along the wet street, he checks the motion in the steam for potential obstruction! Meanwhile it seems the world doomed to insanity. People genuinely believed that the human race would be wiped out by nuclear war though that's not true. The anguish in Ronald’s face shows through the streams of tears that flow down his face that the information he is passing is true and that the world will end in five years. His mind fills with memories of things he considers important to him, or things he like. His favorite melody, electrical irons and so on. Ronald is frantically preparing for the end of the world by stockpiling thoughts, knowledge and memories, rather than physical supplies that you would store in a warehouse. His brain that has no room to spare. It’s like an overflowing warehouse, and it is giving him a headache. Ronald thinks of all the people in the world that he’s going to have to live without, although they are different and unknown to him, he needs them to live a sane life in life. Ronald observes that not everyone is going crazy over this news, he sees someone simply relaxing as they are so chilled out they don’t even though they are being teased or mocked at. Now that the world is going insane, he longs for the security and love that his mother gave him. And finally, Sapphire’s memories come back to her: Sapphire sees the truth now that she was blind in the past but is awake and see’s the truth. She was blinded by love, falling for her man and giving him her all! Sapphire realized what was happening in her life, she believes that reading the stars as the stars is telling their future. Sapphire made the wrong decisions in life that created her destiny. After everything Sapphire went through, she learned that sometimes things aren’t really what they may seem to be. She acknowledges she kept living in her dream and couldn’t see what really happened in her relationship. Sapphire wishes that she knew what was going to happen so she wouldn’t waste her time and energy on a relationship that she knew was going to end. If she had known that things would end up so bad she wouldn’t have committed to the relationship and when she was with him she was on cloud 9 and had a sweet and wonderful time with him but now she has fallen back to ground of reality. The woman realized something, “Oh wait! I forgot to introduce myself and this boy here…My name is Ingrid Mischa and this is my assistant, nice to meet you Stephanie Redford.” She said. Jesse discovers he can absorb memories through eye contact and he realizes he could find Rebecca one day he will reunite with her. 

Nowadays…An idiot can also be defined as a member of the public who buys into the lies the corrupt media establishment feeds them, effectively drinking in the dangerous idea but going along with that keeps them dumb and unaware of the world around them. The all night news cycle is often criticized for various reasons. The news networks blew the threat of terrorism far out of proportion: very few people die at the hands of terrorists compared to road accidents, obesity, and cigarettes, but that didn’t stop news networks from getting hysterical about it. It's strange and makes no sense and it screws with other people's mind. This world is a nation of immigrants. The media aren’t happy unless they’re waving their arms in the air and predicting something terrible. They often scare monger over issues such as terrorism, ignoring deeper social problems. Also politicians seems uninterested in fixing the problems everyone has to face, it seems as if they don't want everything to be okay. Mass media tells us what is okay and what we should be like. Chris is against that mold that people are expected to fit into. It should be enough for his point to be understood. But for the government, it isn’t? People who oppose wars are perceived as soft and get called spies. Being the libertarian punk liberal Chris identifies as, this is an agenda he would push back against. People were basically the administration’s propaganda division, repeating claims it made unquestionably. It also points out how the government became suspicious of its own people, and started to spy on them. People are currently in the information age, due to our access to the Internet and other informative technologies. Chris is a product of his father’s rage and his mother’s love. He could see himself as a self centered and disenchanted nature; it is likely he would not identify with any religion. Rather, he would follow his own created belief system. There are central nervous system stimulants. It affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Young children are simply being normally active individuals, who do not pay attention to that which does not stimulate their senses. No one ever died to give him the right to go to hell! Chris has frequently sins but shows no signs of guilt or remorse because he has long ago lost his faith. He has rejected Christian morals and replaced them with his own. He takes no responsibility for his actions and blames other people for his own problems. He lives in a constant state of denial, which is reoccurring motif in the story. Chris criticized how society always labels different attitudes – especially teenagers attitudes as psychological problems, and he’s not acting like everyone else but there’s nothing wrong with him. Living in his small suburban town, Chris feels alienated. He has a false sense of reality, almost like a place based on media representation. He feels as if his small town is just make-believe because it is not how the real world is, no one cares or even knows about its existence. Many teens have a feeling, true or not, that no one believes in them; which could be true because some parents give their kids the harsh truths of the world way too soon, thus keeping them from pursuing a future. Chris is personally feels that the society does not have any high hopes from him because they see him as just an apathetic, good-for-nothing loser. Chris’s living room is considered by him to be his protective place that shields him from the outside world. More than that though, a womb is a place to be born out of. Chris constantly grumbles about leaving his hometown but up until now he has lacked the push to actually go and do that. He’s not only in debt financially, but emotionally. He has unresolved feelings and pent-up anger. He states that he is fine and normal, because this is how society would expect him to be even though they have no faith for him to get anywhere in his life. It is a city of the dead because there is no life in the town. There is nothing to do and nowhere to go. No matter what road Chris follows, no matter what path he undertakes, it seems to bring him nothing. Everywhere leads to nowhere – it’s building on the theme of nihilism, living without any sense of purpose. The young people of suburbia trapped in a cycle of boredom and restlessness which leads to trouble! Apathy runs rampant amongst the young people in Suburbia, no one seems to care about anything, especially not Chris or his feelings. His once beloved home is now a broken, beat down, suburban city. Chris is the lost child and he is sick of how nobody cares about him and everyone takes him for granted. He’s trying to convince himself he doesn’t care about how he feels because everyone else is telling him that they don’t care about him. Chris sees through people and their so-called happy, normal lives. He is sick of how everyone else in the town acts towards him! Chris condemn the youth for things they themselves partake in. People fall in and out of love but no one puts the time and effort to build a real relationship therefore hearts are never saved, passing and pushing dreams of parents who didn’t do anything on to their kids. He feels like nobody cares about him or believes in him. Not his family, not his friends, not his teachers, nobody. But there is one...Gloria and Tunek. The only ones and of course, there is Stephanie who is still there! However, he doesn’t care anymore about this town. Nobody cares about him so why should he care about them? Has the world gone crazy, or is it just a delusion? There’s a thin line between feeling paranoid and that everyone’s against anyone or not feeling confident and everyone’s just ignoring or looking through others. Chris understands they don’t want him to be perfect, but they do expect a lot of him, and he does not have a word for how much that is so he uses perfect. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, his home doesn’t exist and because he has become emotionally unattached to his hometown, it no longer exists to him either. What will describe their current world? It feels as if his town has been involved in some kind of war or violent conflict! People are living in an era where humans rely on technology heavily. They are also living in an era with contraband, which is the buying and selling of illegal goods. Chris is now in the city and it’s one of those days where it is just pouring rain. All the citizen casualties caused by these attacks that were just considered another statistic. Also to the soldiers who died for the cause, they don’t get honored individually; they just get grouped in together with all the other soldiers that died. The howling dogs are just symbols for the chaos ensuing around this war. The fact that they’re singing is out of key implies that this isn’t organized killing; it’s just a hell hole. Despite all the killing going on in the war, the country is much more concerned about losing money and corporate sponsors than losing soldiers. By saying it is the company that lost the war, and not the country, it puts more emphasis on the financial side of the war than the soldiers fighting to defend their country. He is trying to convince himself that going into the city was the right move, so he can get away from the lies that went on in his old town. This move is going to set up the rest of his life, hopefully for the better. Everyone is just sitting back and watching all this happen in front of them like they’re on vacation while they should be protesting. There was a rumor that this song was written as the country was going through a tough time! Someone finally did have the guts to speak out against what the country was doing, and look into what was doing wrong. What they did find was that the war is being fueled by money, and the other side is the side that has all of it. As long as they have the money they call the shots. There are silencers, while the monument represents what is supposed to be good about the city. By acting as if nothing is going on with the country and acting like they’re on vacation, those put the entire country’s livelihood at risk. They need to hold the cult accountable or nothing will change. Since a child, he always felt different, and that made him a loner. He doesn’t even know another way to live, and even though it hurts him, he’s so afraid of the unknown life he could have that he just settles down and accepts his lonely fate, his eventual home. But he has been lonely and sad for such a long time that he doesn’t know anything else anymore. The pain has become his friend. No one’s with him, he’s by himself, on a street where men have lost their spirits. The excitement of the city he came for, wears off eventually. Eventually people calm down, and there’s no one to talk to. He feels so alone. No friends, no companions, no girlfriend, no family, nobody. He’s alone. The sadness, this loneliness can drive a person insane, and it makes you wish someone else is out there. But maybe it’s not as bad as it seems on the surface. In fact, He prefers to be alone in his own thoughts sometimes. He thinks people suck. It’s not until he meets Gloria that he cares about anyone else. He’s gotten so lonely with no one to talk to he can’t even tell if he’s alive any more. The only indication that he has any life yet is his vital signs. 

Gloria is struggling emotionally while glancing out the window of the sunset. The beauty of the sunset on the horizon is often used to inspire hope in a discouraged individual. Eternal youth is often used as a another way to mean dying young, so therefore never growing older, this is where Gloria is upset to discover the pastor she had faith in and thought he was a holy man. Gloria will learn this reality of the world with the memories inside her mind. Chris approaches her, he urges Gloria to join him in starting a revolution. "Well, sounds like deja-vu....Don't you think?" Gloria said with a sad smile but she is unsure about going into violence because she is a pacifist and doesn't fight battles as a warrior. The shoot first shoot second and shoot again type mentality. Rebellious and willing to act! Chris needs Gloria and so does the revolution he wants to start. Chris tells Gloria he loves her as well as explaining that she is needed for the revolution. Chris is rebellious, embodying the spirit of war. He isn’t afraid to stand out in a crowd for what he sees as right. This is why Gloria loves him and why he is necessary for the revolution! Chris was just a boy who grew up in a lost city at the end of a lost at sea. However; Gloria is affected by the fact at how cold-hearted people can be! Even though she is now a realist, she should still have faith in her ideals. Those who have made mistakes in the past are asking Gloria for forgiveness and help! Her passion is like fires. Gloria is needed to lead. Chris is once again calling on Gloria and announcing his love for her and asking for hers in return. Chris has been rejected from the society of his own broken down town and he was rejected from society as a whole. He actually ripped it apart in frustration. Chris is letting all his anger out like fire from his veins, his anger is pouring out and shown to the world. With Gloria withdrawn into herself and down for the count; Chris decides it’s time for action. He steps up to take Gloria’s burden, assuring her to not worry. He decides that, Gloria started the revolution, the chemical reaction, but he would be her device that finished the job. Those great signs of early love, thinking she’s the best in the world, the most beautiful girl. Jesse and Rebecca come from two different worlds, each of which is trying to escape. This girl is rebellious, someone who doesn’t conform, but she can’t seem to leave everything she’s ever known. He wants to talk to her but he cannot get up the courage to approach her, just as a child on its own or an abandoned pet would be lonely and scared. They both are stuck in their own special ways. This girl obviously has some serious issues, which may be part of the reason Jesse is so attracted to her! She is unhappy with herself and her looks so she is willing to go out with anyone who asks. But also be about her trying to find herself and be accepted by society in general. Jesse tells Rebecca that she’s fine, to help calm her destructive heart. He bears the weight of depression for her because he loves this girl so much. Now that the relationship is breaking up, the relationship arguments rather than their own individual troubles. The relationship they hold isn’t even worth putting energy into sometimes, because it will eventually lead to an argument. They’re starting to realize the relationship isn’t working out. Now; Jesse is known to have a great imagination but he had a very believable dream, and thought he saw Rebecca. He intentionally burned all of the photographs of their relationship in order to move on. After she left, Jesse went back to his boring life! She left him, with no way to get back in contact with her. No matter how long he searched for her, she was never found, never heard of again. He made a point to burn the photographs means that he keeps reminding himself and he should forget about her but he still hasn’t done it. Jesse longs to remember the girl that he spent his time with. The time he spent with that girl seems very far in the past, but was actually not too far back. Jesse still tries to forget Rebecca, the pain that she put him through, and how he still loves her. Jesse saw a woman exiting the taxi and going to the station. He exits his car and follows her. Jesse is running in the boarding area of the station to catch up to the girl who whirls around to reveal to be Rebecca. They later meet up and kiss in one of the boarding platforms of the station in front of a train which later starts to move. With attacks, corruption, conflict, and worldwide panic all packed into just its first decade, the world has been one of the most contentious centuries in history, and things are not looking up. Even worse, society is not taking notice of the issues, let alone taking action against them. Jesse and Rebecca’s fight to inform and empower people to fight against the corrupt wasteland their country is becoming.
