♥︎Empathy- Crystal Castles

' The pleasant click of the lighter sounded as a tiny light rose to the surface. Two dots reflected from under the mask, revealing dilated pupils covered in a pane that looked like glass.
In the background there was fog alternating with gray smoke. The burning irritated the eyes and irritated the larynx. Feeling of suffocation was something nostalgic for her.

She remembered how her head hit the cold pavement and her body began to sweat. The heart began to function poorly, it was agony. Pain, however, was not painful, rather mild and warm. She remembered clenching the medicines in hand, thinking that she would finally die that day. She felt calm then, she had not been so calm and sure about her mind very long. But when she opened her eyes a few days later after the coma, heart felt disappointed.
And at that moment, sitting on the sidewalk, she thought back to day. When begged God, he sent his demon with purple eyes.

Girl lowered her hand, looking towards the building. The theater was on fire.
The night sky, covered with a milky mist, stretched overhead. Gray, barely visible clouds floated high, illuminating the sheet of dark infinite space. A night without stars, only the full moon peeking through the clouds. Smell of humid air mixed with burning. Street lamps created visible pillars of concentrated light scattered by the rising water. The hour was also late, after midnight. Theater stood in the orange flames of a glowing fire. Building no longer had part of its roof, which had collapsed a moment ago. The front door opened every now and then, slowly letting people out of this hell. Everyone is nicely dressed, expensively. Velvet dresses, black suits of officials and politicians. They left in a panic, burnt. Patches of skin that look like crusts, or blisters filled with plasma. From inside this furnace, faint screams could be heard as the walls of the building breaking.

A quiet evening turned into a massacre. No one even knew when the building would burst into flames, keeping people inside. Another scream came from inside and several women looked on in horror. The eyes of some of them were filled with tears, from smoke and ash, but not only that. Hearing these screams of despair gaves chills. The knowledge that people were burning at stake there was terrifying. Just like you could have been the one who didn't come out.

The girl sat casually, resting her elbows on her knees, confusedly focusing on the fact that she was wearing a white lace short dress. In the distance, you could hear the wail of sirens rushing through the streets of the night city. She leaned forward, listening to her surroundings. However, screams and fire in the distance made it difficult to concentrate. After a while, the fire brigade with ambulances arrived at the scene, firefighters quickly left the trucks and started spreading hoses. Rescuers tried to evacuate people and provide them with first aid. However, there was not much that could be done with such injuries on the spot - patches of skin fell off, covered with feces and blood. Chaos reigned everywhere.

'Excuse me, miss...do you require medical attention?' the young man walked over to Mask sitting on the curb. She raised her head, hiding the lighter in the sleeve of her fur dark brown coat. The man noticed the mask and the dirty long stockings. He tried to be friendly.

'...' she was silent for a moment and then stood up from the sidewalk 'No, thank you, sir. I'll go now, I won't disturb the rescue action' she turned around, walking towards the alley right next to the burning theater. The rescuer wanted to stop her, but someone quickly called him from the crowd. Mask, unmoved, continued walking, passing the busy guards. She finally entered a narrow, gray alley. Alley was stuffy and narrow. Putting her hands in pockets, she took one step at a time, moving confidently.
