A god? Liam mumbled confused. "Is that what you call it? Over here they call it diagnosed schizophrenia.. That's exactly why I'm in this predicament you see.
Well— Mr. N stuttered.
"Is it true, Mr. N," Liam cuts him off
"Does your god have the ability to kill my mother, to free me from my shackles?"
Mr. N, closes the door behind him, locking himself in the cage with the beast taking a deep breath. 'He knows who I am?'
"I cannot promise my plan will work," Mr. N replies.
As determination flashes in his eyes he tugs on his red tie "But I will die trying no matter the cost"
Liam's eyes darken, the flicker of hope fading into nothingness.
Liam: "Sounds like you're manipulating me."
"Monsters like her should not exist in our world," Mr. N interjects, voice unwavering tapping Liam on his chest, his pectorals as hard as stone.
Liam mocks internally. 'What a joke'
Mr. N confidently states "And as the future president of the United States, And future monarch of this world. I have an overwhelming sense of duty to remove such evil from our society."
Liam argues "But she birthed me, you know that, right? Are you saying that I'm monster too?"
Mr. N responds quickly.
"There are over a billion people on this planet, Liam.
"Do you really think they all have consciousness like us?"
"Think like us?"
"Dream like us?"
We are the real humans.
I have no empathy for fakes.
I am not a psychopath I am simply awake.
Liam's eyes opened widely before going back to normal.
'And there I saw it, There I saw the man who was supposed to save me, justify his evil. Maybe it is true, worldly ambition is evil. It is the root of all evil. But I have so much to gain that I simply cannot say no. One sacrifice is all I need.'
"One sacrifice is all I need."
Life can be beautiful. I know it can be, I just need one more chance.
Liam responds quickly changing the topic "God can't save you from her terror, Mr. N. I hope that's not your answer."
Mr.N: "I believe that God granted us the power to save ourselves from ourselves. We must take pride in that."
Liam laughs. A hollow sound.
"So that's why you are here? To save me…. from me? How noble."
The chains rattled again — not loud, but deliberate. Like a whisper threatening to become something far more dangerous.
Mr. N did not flinch, He let out a slow breath and eased himself onto the cold floor beside the man. Simply saying while staring at the ceiling windows with Liam.
"Im going to save you"
Slowly Liam's eyes widened going through multiple emotions as his eyes flickered. It was powerful. This man was indeed special, he could feel it but he didn't want to.
'I don't want to feel this. I can't afford to.'
Liam bit his teeth "Save me?"
A feeling of discomfort washed over him. Save me or use me? You think I'm worth saving? After everything I've become?, oh he doesn't know what happened to me or what she's done to me.
He wants to scream. Contempt and self-pity swell within him, but he keeps his mouth shut.
He was raised to believe that a man's emotions mattered less than those of a common housecat.
Sadness was a weakness. Grief was ugly.
The most unattractive trait a man can have is being sad.
But Liam saw his future. His future as "The Sheep" he couldnt bend he couldnt break to follow his shepherd. He had different plans.
