Lure the bird into the cage.
He approaches.
Slow-
Go slow.
Don't you see?
This is a trap, she has you.
You are wrapped around her finger.
Still-
Be still.
Don't you remember?
She hurt you last time, it can happen again.
Monster-
What monster would do such a thing to a beating heart?
I-
I am the monster.
I-
Lure the bird into the cage.
