To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection.

Do I seek to destroy the heavens or to break free from the chains of fate that bind me? I used to think I could, but now I wonder if I even have the strength to try. How many times have I fought against this suffocating reality, only to find myself exhausted by the struggle? The very idea of rebellion has become wearisome, and I yearn for an end—an end to this torment, to myself, to this cruel and sinister world. I’ve done what I had to do to survive. Yet, when I look back, the world casts me as the villain, branding me evil for merely existing in a landscape designed for my demise. But is it wrong to fight for my life? To claw my way through the shadows? I feel the urge to give up, to surrender to the darkness that whispers sweetly in my ear, but a flicker of something within me refuses to fade. What would it mean to let go? To relinquish this relentless struggle? Curiosity gnaws at me—what awaits at the end of my journey? Could it be peace, or will I find only more despair? I stand at the precipice, teetering between the desire for annihilation and the faintest glimmer of hope, wondering which path will finally lead me home.
