while the end was near on the other side...

She stared up to the ruin's walls.
Would it be high enough?

She... could also walk into the pond... like... like that little angel did...

She should feel sorry for him.
But she couldn't... for... some reason she was unable to feel.

Raindrops hit her face.

Would it be high enough?

Jack fell down a few times now. And... he.. he survived it.

But her body was tired... worn out.
Her wounds didn't want to heal... probably.. because she didn't want them to heal.
Maybe... maybe it would be enough to kill her...

She lowered her head again.
She was never good at 'airwalking'.
She is too clumsy.

But her brother showed her a trick... she knew how to get up there without having to 'run' in the air.

She could alao use the tree at the pond...

Even Jack was sure he wouldn't... wouldn't survive when falling down uncontrolled from its highest points.
And she was always scared to ... to... death when he was dancing high up there.

A tear ran down her face, nearly hidden by the small rivers of rainwater...

She remembered the little conversation with Jergens and his friend... Faith was the name, right?

This wasn't paradise.

So... wherever her brother was gone now...

There was a way to follow him.

All she needed to do... was dying.

She lifted her head again, looking up to the broken walls.
She wished so badly to be with him.

He was gone for four days now.
... she missed him so badly... so badly.. it hurted...
This pain of missing him... he knowledge he wasn't here anymore...

... unbearable.

She turned around, started to walk.
Her hooves made slight splashing noises on the wet ground.

She knew the trick. She knew how to get up there...
... better she would take the tree, just to be sure.

... she walked to the pond. The whispers of the rain her only company.

It took a while until she reached the pond... and the tree.

It was really high... falling from up there.. would surely end it.

She turned her head, a white body on the sore.

Many deer around, some keeping him company.
Jergens was there as well.

She closed her eyes, another tear ran down her face.
There was no body left of him... she... she couldn't even say good bye...
... or... or stop him from destroying himself and others.

He... simply vanished from this place... like... like he never existed...

Yes, Jane. You couldn't stop him.

He always said you where stronger than him... you are not.

She turned around, leaving the tree and the pond behind.

She knew how to get up there...
... she knew how to end it.

... she... she could meet him again, couldn't she...?

Again it took some time until she reached the playground.

She broke down in the shade of the big rock.

Make it end.
Make it end....
She could make it end.
She just had to fall...

...falling from the highest point...

...

She couldn't.
Too many died.
Too many got lost.
She couldn't go on with this...

She closed her eyes.

This pain... this feeling...

... this waiting.

... waiting.

Yes she was waiting.

But...
... she didn't know ... for what.
