Seeking solace from the tumultuous emotions that engulfed me, I had locked myself away from the world, knowing that Carl, with his vexing attitude, was at home.

Trying to comprehend the complex and enigmatic personalities of these men was an arduous task, one that twisted and turned through the already chaotic alleys of my mind.
In the solitude of that room, I poured my heart onto the blank pages, hoping to find relief. The ink flowed like tears, turning the once pristine white sheets into dark canvases for my inner turmoil. The small, sharp nib of my pen became a channel for the darkness churning within me, releasing it onto the tangible medium before me.
