`` You do n't kill!'' 
 
 `` No. We have n't killed. Does n't mean we ca n't, does it?'' 
 
 As the Purity Beam began to shoot towards my face, I involuntarily considered my life up until now. Time seemed to slow, though ny muscles did not respond. 
 
 It all began when a shadowy figure gave me a talisman, in exchange for which he would ensure my sister's autism and afasia would... Not quite be cured, as I knew that would require serious brain alteration, but be more easily reversible into a state where she could speak. 
 
 I knew about Faustian deals, and how they never worked out for the one making it unless they were a culture hero of some sort. 
 
 But to see my sister be able to simply ask for a drink with actual words out loud and not sign language or a visual picture card system like PECs without prompting... I signed my soul away for that. 
 
 The talisman was the contract, in metallic form. It bound me to the will of my master. 
 
 If he wants me to burn down an orphanage, I must. 
 
 If he wants me to wound myself, I must. 
 
 If he wants me to strangle my sister to death for his amusement... I must. 
 
 
 As I said. Faustian deals never work out for the one making it. 
 
 I did what I was told. The rare moment of clarity I had, I used it to anger the heroes. I wanted to die. I wanted to end it all. 
 
 The beam hit, and the talisman disintegrated. 
 
 The contract was annuled. 
 
 I stared at the melted shards on the ground. 
 
 `` That... Did n't kill me.'' 
 
 `` We try not to kill people who are prisoners.'' the magical girl smirked. 
 
 I snarled, and slammed her into the ground, pounding her face with my fists as hard as I could. 
 
 I wanted death. 
 
 I wanted release. 
 
 I wanted to find my sister's spirit and apologise to her. 
 
 As her companion shot a lethal prismatic ray at me, I sighed a sigh of relief, and soon crumpled to the ground, a corpse over the unconscious body of a pummeled shoujo heroine. 
 
 As my spirit departed, I wished them luck with their fight against my old employer, then vanished into realms unknown. 
 
 I had a big apology to make.
