"At least hear what I have to say".

"I don't give a damn what you have to say!".

"I know the pain you're going through, losing Rayul, it feels like I've lost a brother of my own-".

"SHUT UP!!" I screamed, on my feet, my hands trembling at my sides "You know nothing of how I feel! You don't give a damn that my brother was killed because of you! Why do you think he went out alone that night? Why do you think he didn't even ask for help when he was injured? It was to protect your sorry asses! It was to protect me! If you'd stopped to listen to him for a fucking second Rayul would still be here!".

"You think I don't know that? That I feel no regrets? I know he's dead because of my blindness!".

"Then what the hell are you doing here? Hoping for forgiveness? Did you think if you admitted to being wrong from the start I would ever forgive you? Were you dense enough to believe anything you had to say to me would make a difference? We'll you're wrong and I hate you because of it. I'll never stop hating you and I will never forgive you!" my chest rose and fell rapidly, my stance ready to pounce on him if he spouted anymore nonsense, I could care less how he felt. He might as well had shot the bullet that had lead to Rayuls death. He was related to the murderer, what made him think I wanted to see his ugly face, when he looked so much like Gnat.

"I wanted to give you Rayuls final words" he said quietly, voice shaky from rage and grief. Reaching in to his pocket, he tossed something on the bed. My breath caught as I stared down at the black rectangular shape, the back of which had a small sticker of me and my brother, it was Rayuls phone. I picked it up in trembling hands, noting the tiny flakes of dried blood in the grooves. I held back the tears burning my eyes.

"He recorded his conversation with Gnat before they attacked him. There's something near the end I think you need to hear".

My hands shaking so hard it was harder then it should be to go under files and pull up the recording, it was the only one and fairly long. I hesitated for a long minute before pressing play.

"Alright Gnat, I'm here alone like you wanted. Show your god awful face already".

I started. Rayul.

Background noise, slight shuffling then "Knock it off will you? This is playing out like a bad movie-" a shout of pain. A thud.

"Hahaha! In the long run, I can't believe you where dumb enough to come here alone! Did you honestly think I would do the same?" Gnat sneered from somewhere further away. The voice was distant with little interference, yet it was clearly the Gnat we knew.

"I kinda hoped you had a minuscule shred of dignity left, guess I was wrong" Rayul huffed, winded.

THUD!!

"Aurgh!".

I turned it off, I could not listen to another second of it. That scream, that pain filled scream. I could only image what it was they did to him. Clutching the phone to my chest I fell to my knees and wept.
