‏Yes, ‏those are the last words i remember.

‏life moves on from battlefields to the fields in battle. ‏He was the person with my mystery but i guess mysterious is the way it is.

‏Do you remember your family? (asks Sarah)

‏I see shadows of a fat boy playing with a beautiful girl and i wakeup all in tears.

‏I guess life is a big hilarious joke! ( ‏laughing)

‏Now, ‏do you've the stomach to laugh?

‏Sarah ‎(terrifyingly) ‏What about your scars?

‏My scars, ‏my scars are twinkling stars; ‏my scars are twinkling stars ‎(shakily)

‏Sarah grabs her notebook, ‏glasses and handbag and starts running.

‏Wait, ‏where you going! ‏where you.......?

‏Sarah ‎(gaspingly); ‏I am a fucking fool;

‏why do you go after that psychopath, ‏you li'l shit ‎(murmuring)

‏Sarah wiping off her sweat, ‏calm down..she says;

‏Mom will kill me tonight, ‏it's already too late.
