The night had never been quieter when Caleb finally sleeps soundly after you slipped the drug into his drink.

You watch him, eyes fall on each of his features as you're soaking in the sight of his sleeping face, knowing this is the last time you’ll see him.

You know you made the right decision.

A week ago, after your movie date with Caleb, you came home to two men—one, a white-haired man you knew from Ever—waiting for you at the door.

"You seem to know who I am. We're coming in peace—to offer a deal." he said after a short and dry introduction.

Though you're feeling cautious, you let them in.

But they did exactly what he told you and all of your fear were confirmed. Everything was finally revealed to you. Caleb had been sacrificing everything for you, being experimented for over a thousand times and he planned to do more to protect you from Ever Lab, where they would turn you into their weapon.

"But we only need you," the white-haired man said. "Agree to the deal, give him this, and we'll let him go—alive."

He opened a box with a chip inside.

"It's the new version of Toring Chip. It's also modified to wipe his memories clean the next day after it's injected. He’ll start over, safe from us. We guarantee it."

Your stomach was churning. The thought of Caleb living as someone else, with no memory of you...

But then you remembered what Ever had planned for him, all sinking coldly in your chest.

You finally agreed.

Now, after spending a final day with him, you’ve put him to sleep. You're sitting on the edge of the bed, the injection is ready in your hand.

It’s time for me to return everything you’ve lost, Caleb. When you wake up tomorrow, you can finally live for yourself. I love you. Goodbye.

“Pip..squeak?”

You're startled, didn't expect him to wake up after strong dose of sleeping drug. The syringe, quickly hidden behind your back, is already empty.

You freeze as you see horror fills his eyes. He starts to realize he can’t move his body at all.

“W-what… are... you… doing?”
