Sigh... I got beaten up, my face all bruised and swollen, but thankfully, I'm still alive. Those Marauders seem to be looking for some fun. I saw Marlon and Ronald being taken away yesterday, stripped of everything, and each given a piece of broken glass as a makeshift dagger... In the end, Marlon survived. She stepped on Ronald's corpse, basking in the cheers of the Marauders, and was accepted as one of them. That's exactly what I wanted. Oh heavens, grant me a chance like that too. A piece of broken glass, or if not, I'll use my teeth and fists. Tonight, they might drag me out, and who will be my opponent? Tom, Mimi, or old Colby, or perhaps... Delia? It doesn't matter anymore. It's either you die or I perish. I must survive, and nothing will stop me.
