Dallas walks confidently. If she looks like she knows where she is
going then people won't attack her... right? People shoot her
curious glances as she passes, but her bloody dress is enough to
stop them from attacking her. When her apartment complex is within
view she run the rest of the way. She clutches her backpack in
front of her chest so people can no longer see her bloody dress.
When she is finally in the safety of her apartment she can finally
relax. She rests her forehead against her door, no longer able to
hold the tears back. She was falling apart and quickly losing
herself. She looks around shakily, trying to find her tether. She
finds it quickly, it's a note she wrote to herself. She grabs it,
her hands shaking like crazy. She can't see the words through her
tears but she has the words memorized. "My name is Dallas Gold and
I am not a bad guy for what I've done" she repeats over and over
again. Deep down, she knows the words aren't true, but she manages
to convince herself for now. She slides down against her wall, now
resting the back of her head against the wall. Her breath finally
slowing back to normal. "My name is Dallas Gold" she repeats. "And
while I did something bad, I am not a bad guy" she rephrases.
