Remember - (1/?)

She was visibly overwhelmed with the same amount of stress that I had in high school. At first, I thought that was me for a moment, but closer inspection revealed that Mary just reminded me of... myself. I thought we were two different people, and that she had experiences I thought were much more better than mine.
And in the end, I realized that we're the same in a sense of experience. Seeing her this way felt uncomfortable for me to really soak in this shit I'm watching right now. Though, I feel like I've grown connected with Mary, in a way I can't describe with words.
When she set up this highly elaborate plan to escape this prison-like reality she was born into, I couldn't help but just kneel down and cry - bawl, even. Why, why did she do this? Everyone, including our parents, thought she had just died, by taking her own life. She ran off, as far as possible, and had berid of her old name Sharon and called herself Mary, and headed past Epoka's walls and into the open lands of Lilica.
 
Why do I feel guilty?

They're not the answers I needed to find.
