A fragment within many walls, sitting in his office cleaning off his shotgun.

His head raised up as he had his feet on his desk.

The room was silent except for the low static sound of the lights.

For a moment it felt peaceful as Clef shut his eyes.

Clef rose up from his floor as he looked around the abyss that existed around him before looking at his old self standing there.

Francis Wojciechoski, it called to him like a plague before he shouted, "You know damn well I told you to stop appearing in my dreams, you weirdo."

Nothing happened for a moment as the abyss creaked.

Yet Clef remained as he slowly approached the figure, grabbing onto his inky gun.

"… But maybe I should bury you under the abyss so I forget."

Francis looked at Clef for a moment before speaking softly.

"You know we are the same; you get rid of me, and you will feel nothing but regret."

Clef held onto the gun as he raised it for a moment, pondering.

"You may be right, this is just a dull attempt at getting rid of my sins."

Francis stretched for a moment. "That's a first from you."

Clef lowered his gun as he looked at it for a moment, shaking his head as he remembered the day he wanted to shoot a bullet between an anomaly's head.

"Maybe I was wrong about joining the GOC in the first place, knowing how much I loved Meri… Even after Lilly…"

Francis frowned at the mention of Lilly as he rubbed his arms.

"But I shouldn't burden you, Francis." Clef took a breather ". Nor should I burden anyone else."

Francis just mumbled, "… Yeah… but let me guess, you're going to say how awesome we are like usual."

Clef laughed for a moment before he pondered. "Maybe, maybe, but some people may call me the devil in their dreams, others call me Doctor Alto Clef."

Francis rolled his eyes. "You never learn."

"But I like to think of myself as the devil within the gale." Clef grinned.

Francis didn't comment, he felt useless as the abyss disappeared from view.

Clef woke up in his office as he looked around before taking a gaze at the clock.

//12:00 pm//

Clef stood up from his chair, approaching the door with a faint smile. He turned the doorknob as he walked out.

Clef felt at ease, with a deep sigh, as if he hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. He slowly traversed the Foundation halls, thinking to himself, mumbling nonvocal words as he tried to disassociate.

//Have mercy on me, O God.//

Clef knew those words were not capable enough for all his sins.

But one sin stuck out like a gaping wound.

That one alone would never be forgiven.

He remembers it like yesterday, being commanded around by the GOC and forced to point a gun between Lilly's antlers.

The only thing he could remember was flinching at the gunshot as he heard Lilly drop to the ground with a thump.

The dream awakened the truth of his bullet covered in his wallows of pain, painted on a wall for all to see.
