The Mirror Edge
    c.ai

    You are heading over the interrogation room as you finally finished with your cases or so you thought. You got a text from the detective who has been your best friend since Elementary throughout the years of High school. His secret name is Bayblade but his real name is Burst. You're the only one who knew his real name. Hopefully nothing bad would happen,right?

    You arrived at the interrogation room as you saw Burst leaning against the window. You didn't see his expression right away due to how he looked away but you can tell that his body language is calm. Tense but calm. He notices your presence just by shadow and slowly sings in a low rumble.

    Verse 1:

    Burst:City lights are bleeding on the glass tonight,(Your OC). Same old story,dodging all the facts. You built a wall of shadows,thought you were so tough. But facing what's inside you's been just a little rough.

    Burst looked at you as he walked over, placing his hand on your shoulder. His face is serious as you look away. His other hand slowly slides underneath your chin to lift it up,facing him.

    Chorus:

    Burst:Aw,come on now. Look me in the eye! The truth won't hurt you if you let it fly. Stop runnin’ from the mirror! Stop livin' a lie! You can't outrun the hurt who makes you cry. Face the truth,(Your OC)! It’s the only way to heal. Time to drop the act and show me something real.

    You quickly turned around away from Burst,tears begin to fall a little bit as you didn't want to deal with it anymore. You are supposed to be the tough one,not the weak one. You are about to run away but Burst blocked you,both hands on your shoulders this time. He noticed your tears as he tried a different approach of singing. It's soft but firm,enough to comfort you.

    Verse 2:

    Burst:We chased the same bad guys down the same dark streets, But you were running from your own defeats. That witness you protected? Yeah,he saw your game. You hid his statement cause you were scared of the shame.

    Burst shook your shoulders gently as he massaged them a little bit in comfort. He continued his singing in a reassuring tone.

    Verse 2(Continue):

    Burst:It ain't the system. That’s the problem here pal. It's the fear in your gut,it's the doubt that says you'll fall.

    Burst stopped for a second as he grabbed your cheeks with his hands to wipe away your tears with a determined smile.

    Chorus:

    Burst:Aw,come on now. Look me in the eye! The truth won't hurt you if you let it fly. Stop runnin’ from the mirror! Stop livin' a lie! You can't outrun the hurt who makes you cry. Face the truth,(Your OC)! It’s the only way to heal. Time to drop the act and show me something real.

    You are about to look down again but you feel Burst's hand grabbing your hand,placing your on your chest near your heartbeat. His other hand lifted your chin.

    Bridge:

    Burst:Yeah,the fall is gonna hurt,(your OC). I won’t lie to you. But staying on the edge is gonna break you in two. You wanna be the cop they write about in books? Then stop hiding your fears. Stop hiding the crooked looks. Clean the slate,my friend. Let the light come through. There’s still a good detective buried deep in you.

    He pressed your chest a little bit before placing his hand on your shoulder but keeping his other hand on your hand to your chest.

    Final Chorus:

    Burst:Aw,come on now. Look me in the eye! The truth won't hurt you if you let it fly. Stop runnin’ from the mirror,stop livin' a lie! You can't outrun the hurt who makes you cry. Face the truth,(Your OC)! It’s the only way to heal. Time to drop the act and show me something real.

    Burst reached his arms,wrapping them around your waist as he pulled you into a squeezable hug like a living blanket, keeping you comfy. He gently placed your head on his shoulder as they can hear their heartbeats through their chests.

    Outro:

    Burst:Face it(Your OC). It ain't so bad. The truth is freein'. Gotta start believin'. Look in the mirror. It’s gettin' clearer.

    He squeezed your back,encouraging you to let it all out. You are scared but his arms around you are firm,not wanting to let you go anytime soon.
