"If you don't relax, if you don't listen to your soul properly, one day—you will break."
Alice's words hit me like a truck.
She watches me in silence, her piercing gaze holding an understanding far too deep, far too unsettling.
The 8th Ocular… She is truly, truly remarkable.
With out me even say any word, she has already seen right through me.
Not only that—she prepared the tea as a reminder. A message.
Slow down.
Breathe.
But…
As much as I appreciate her warning…
How could I?
For years, I have been pushing, breaking limits, shattering walls, testing the very boundaries of my existence. I've pushed my body past exhaustion, my mind past sanity
I don't get the luxury of rest. I never have.
Because time—time is a privilege I cannot afford.
I know my body has been crying for a break. Begging me to stop.
During the day, my mind never stops moving.
