“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster . . . when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you” -Friedrich Nietzsche

Abacus Cinch, once the principal of Crystal Prep Academy, now is the assistant of Principal Cadence. After her downfall, she has a crisis of conscious as memories of her past bubble to the surface once more. When witnesses a student in a bind, it'll become the catalyst that will put her on the path to rediscover what she once was...

...as painful as the memory will be.

Author's Note: I wrote this as a way of giving Cinch more of a backstory than she had in the 3rd EqG movie. I saw her as someone who was once the opposite of how she was depicted as and give a reason as to why it came to be. Though there's the OC tag, the story is mainly Cinch's tale.

Contains: Blood, Suicide, Death, and some coarse language here and there.
