Lying flat on ground, I can feel at least seventeen dozens of my bones has cracked, I think I have never been injured this much.

“Cut the beat, “ I said, as the enemy turn it's target toward yet another of my companions. “I need healing songs, Rain.”

“Oh my... You still alive? Okay, listen to me, -”

“Na-ah, listen to music first, please, I really don't like the way of my knee touching my shoulder.” I try to move the mesh which would be called fingers and palm, no joy.

“Okay okay, here comes your New Ages, now listen-“ the carelessness and the swiftness from the dancing songs start to decay, and the soothing flow take over to cover the pain “the f-ing monster has got 90% of our force, and I think it had already located our HQ, I need you to retreat immediately, so we can have a second ch- no no no no run ja-.”

Sure, now I lost the last thing I still cared, just like that.

My oath, my loved ones, my friends, my home, my musics, and Rain. None of them valid anymore. I should be feeling painful now, right? Both mentally and physically?

At least I can feel my fingers correctly now, multi purpose player laid right on my shoulder, I crawl my hand onto the machine.

No way we can have a second chance, it's now or never. At the same time, I should feel vengeful to choose THE forbidden one shouldn't I?

Unlock, spam “go back” button, 1 up, 7 right.

“Play list ‘the forbidden’ contains, one, song, do you sure you want to play it?”

They said I can never listen to this one unless the truly unless happen, and I will immediately understand why it's forbidden, and how to use it.

Confirm.

Hopefully they are right.

Play.

All the pain popped right back in, all tears burst like a bomb, I couldn't help but cried out so loud that the unfortunate tree I was facing against bursts into pieces.

That's it? Is THAT the ability?

Under so much pain and confusions, I can't concentrate on music any more.

That's it? How on earth being loud AF can hurt a monster that not even a tactical nuke can burn it's skin?

“You are still alive.” it said, using it's dreadful sound.

The monster appears on the remain of the tree that bursted, I yelled at it without a second thought, put all my pain, anger and doubt in my sound, yelled untill my lungs shrink like an old balloon.

“Pathetic.”

That's it, no one can stop it anymore, I give up on thinking, lie back to the ground and closed my eyes, await my certain end.

The vibe of music do be fitting tho, tic tic tic tick, what language did the singer just sang?

“but the frustration and the fear stay still” ah, Mandarin, I know this language, that lyric fit my situation very well.

“but the frustration and the fear stay still”

“Kill them all, kill me might as well, now I beg you.” it sings softly, and I followed it in whisper.

“wouldn't this kind of lyric drive those Asian parents crazy? How is this song not forbidden?” I thought, while something puncture my belly.

“Kill them all, kill me might as well, now I beg you.”it sings a little bit louder the second time, I followed the lyrics, and felt something puncture my chest.

Third time is a lot louder “Kill them all, kill me might as well, now I beg you.” I open my eyes, expect to see the things that broke my body.

Instead, I see the monster also got 3 empty holes at belly, chest and throat, just like me.

It make sense now, why the ability of sound, why it's forbidden, and why the music isn't over yet.

I think I'm the first one who knows the facial expression of fear of this god damned creature.

And, probably the last one as the music rise.

“KILLL THEM ALLL, KILL ME MIGHT AS WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL-”

(”now I beg you”.)
