Summary: Sylar makes peace with his victims, but one will never let him go.




In his mind, this purgatory, Sylar confronted his demons, apologizing to his victims for all his sins.

Yet, there was one who would never forgive him. She haunted him, and some nights he'd find her asleep next to him, moaning and curling a warm arm around him.

Then, she would rake her nails across his chest - bloody - as he screamed.

"You killed me," and he could never repent enough. She would never believe him, and he would never let her go.

This was his penance for killing the woman he loved, keeping her forever carved inside his heart.

I really love the imagery you have here - the part with her clawing her nails across his chest and leaving a trail? LOVE. Great job!
