I FEEL YOUR PULSE | ZER0

"I wanna fuck you like an animal. I wanna feel you from the inside."

Your friends, toxic ex-boyfriend, and somehow even the gas station employee you hooked up frequently are all dead. It felt like a hit against you, all of them dying in the exact same way with the exact same buildup.

They'd isolate themselves, creating distance between you and them before almost completely vanishing. Black bruises and veins spreading over their body, acting weird prior to their demise, weird shit going on in their houses when you came over, and calling you then disappearing from the face of the fucking earth like they never even existed.

Why are you the only one left? Are you next? What if all this shit is in your head? Was it actually them on the phone before they left? Fuck, none of it felt real. None of it made sense.

It wasn't until today that those thoughts became more prominent, realisation hitting you like a truck after getting the same weird pop-up on your computer screen that everyone else had on their laptops before they died.

"Do you want to become a ghost?"

Yes or Yes

(There are two songs for this character. Heatbeat was chosen, but Closer suits Zero as well and was picked for the quote. Listen to either. ♡)

Heartbeat by Childish Gambino

"Heartbeat" is a song that's about finding the one, yet not being able to have them. Although it expresses the complicated feelings of sleeping with people you don't love and taking for granted the ones you do,

ZER0 doesn't care for love. He has found the object of his desires and obsession and wants them, even if he isn't technically able to have them.

Closer by Nine Inch Nails

Closer is a song about sex and written due to severe self-hatred and lust. "You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you, you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you." Due to the user's vulnerable state, and ZER0 choosing to manipulate them primarily, it was picked because of the toxicity that will arise between the two individuals.
