[ It's early when she rises and heads down to the garden as usual. It seems to be the only place where she can get some peace of mind.

She kneels down by the flowers, deciding to skip breakfast for today. ]

7:20 am

[The window sill is starting to bruise her butt, sitting high up at an uncomfortable angle, but she counts the long, agonizing minutes before Minatsuki moves to a spot she can safely reach by jumping.

With no stored gas to propel her leap, she relies on leg muscles alone when the time comes--with Minatsuki's back to her. It is a high leap from the second floor--not high enough to strain her muscles but her feet do hit the dirt with some noise.

With one arm around her neck in a choke hold, she reaches back to the clip holding her hair back.]

Move, and your neck will break.

[ She gives a smothered gasp, her hands flying up immediately to try to grab at the forearm, but she goes relatively still. She's not stupid. ]

[She doesn't exactly like this. For one thing, to kill while still "human" will not be something to wipe from her memories easily. Annie doesn't have the advantage of being a "monster" here. Without a warning, she releases the pressure on Minatsuki's neck only to stretch the skin over her right eyelid, her other hand jabbing the needle from her hair clip into the young girl's eye.

When she yanks it back, she plants her foot on Minatsuki's back, kicking her onto the ground. She doesn't stay to watch.

Even if she attracts others with enough noise, she's still dying, and a death is a death. And Annie doesn't stay to watch because she's never been brave anyway.]

[ She screams, but they're out in the garden and it's not loud enough. Immediately she's dizzy and disoriented, and she turns, trying to see her attacker; the image swims and sways from side to side. Short. Blonde hair. That's all she can make out before the colors all blur together, but she staggers forward anyway, trying to reach her. Instinctively, she manages to rip her earring free, but not even her Branch of Sin can help her. The drug goes through her fast, and as the poison courses through her already-infected blood the Branch of Sin goes berserk, and whatever thing turned her into a Deadman in the first place is going to finish her off.

She collapses, bleeding profusely, and then she slips into blackness.

Her last thoughts are of how she'll never be able to make it up to them. Ganta... Yoh... ]
