Poor Eva. It must suck to live in a world ruled by a sadistic god...
I quickly changed into my pajamas, using the side of the bed to support my weight alongside my weakened legs. I was pleased to be rid of the mirror, though I wouldn't have minded having something to check out my new clothing in. Oh well.

I tucked myself in under the covers, but I didn't turn off the lights just yet. Instead, I opened one of the books I had purchased. A sappy romance novel. Maybe it would put pleasant thoughts in my head before I went to sleep...

After a few hours, I was incredibly tired, done with the book, and rather dissatisfied. Those characters had been way too perfect - I couldn't relate to them at all! There were so many ways I was messed up that they were not - it made me kind of angry! I sighed, creeping out of bed long enough to put the book away. Now I was bound to dream about all my shortcomings!
Why did everything seem so boring now?

Had parting with the necklace - the trinket that answered only to me - eroded my sense of significance in the world. True, I would not longer be able to rely on it to get me out of sticky situations, but that was the same as the way things had been before I ever received it. I would manage. Besides, I still had the money - lots of it. I would basically buy whatever I wanted, no questions asked!

Yet I was feeling glum.

"Hey, Vivian," I asked, sitting down in a nice, comfy armchair as soon as I arrived in the living room. "Do you feel... odd, by any chance? I've had a very strange feeling ever since we sold that necklace... it feels like everything happy is gone from the world..."
Even I'm kinda scared. You're gonna do something really bad to poor Eva soon, I just know it! =p
As we sold the necklace, a feeling of dread came over me. Something about the situation felt ominous... as if the necklace would take vengeance for this. I resisted the urge to bother Vivian with my feelings. Besides, walking around on crutches was taking up the bulk of my energy.

"Do you want to go anywhere else? The mall or something?" I asked. Personally, I wanted to treat myself to some sweets. I had lost weight during my confinement, and I had been thin to begin with. "I wouldn't mind something to read..." For some strange reason, I had been in the mood for a sappy romance novel recently - maybe the sudden turn in my luck had awakened some latent hopes. I just wished that it didn't feel so temporary...
I agreed to Vivian's plan, though I suspected the necklace would just come back to me on its own. Nonetheless, I got into bed, curling up under the covers. I wondered if I would have a nightmare tonight, something about that stupid necklace. It would have been nice to experience a nice, dreamless sleep again, like I had been when I was pumped full of meds. Nonetheless, the world around me faded before long, leaving only blackness in its wake.
"I don't know," i said, returning Vivian's hug. "It could be because things are starting to look up again. Whenever life starts getting decent for me, that necklace intervenes and makes things worse..." To my surprise, I felt tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. Why the hell did all of these awful things happen to me? Did I really deserve to suffer that badly. If so... perhaps it really would be for the best if I put an end to my life, before Vivian or someone else got hurt by the necklace again...
I forced my eyes open when I felt Vivian's touch.

My legs had been pulled up onto my seat, where I had been huddling in fear as my wheelchair moved around on its own. "W-what happened?" I asked, my eyes darting in all directions. This was the necklace's fault, of course; the giggling I heard was more than enough proof of that. "You didn't touch the necklace, did you?" I asked, scanning over my own body for any sign of injuries. As far as I could tell, aside from my bloody nose, I was unharmed.

Despite my confusion, I sighed in relief. "You're okay, too, right?" I asked. I placed my legs back in their designated position, but I was too afraid to touch my wheelchair with my own hands, not after what they had just been doing. "I needed to learn how to walk again, as soon as possible! I was only out for like three weeks, right? It shouldn't be too tough to get accustomed to walking again, in that case..."
"I don't really want to touch the necklace myself..." I said, putting a finger to my lip in thought. "But I'm worried about you... I don't think it's a good idea for you to share a room with the necklace or move it yourself... would you mind switching to a different room? I have plenty of those to go around!" I gave Vivian a weak smile, hoping she would be alright with my idea. The necklace could have a room to itself for all I cared!

"Anyway, do you want to do anything fun after I learn to walk again? Maybe we could go shopping or something. I've been cooped up in this place for way too long!
"I don't know," I said, pulling myself out of the wheelchair and crawling into my bed. "I'm terrified of that stupid thing. I don't know why it showed up in the mirror... maybe to mark me as its owner?" I shrugged. "I would suggest throwing it into the ocean or something, but I feel like it would just come back of its own accord. I don't think there's anything we can do except ignore it. You aren't still keeping it in your room, are you?" I frowned at the thought. The necklace had hurt Vivian before... if she stayed close to it, there was a good chance that would happen again. I needed to avoid that, even if it meant locking the necklace away myself!
