How long has it been since you first started this cycle of self loathing? It started innocently enough, you meet someone and they seem nice. They lend you games, books and things to watch. Some of it even has a deep impact on you. You aren’t super close to begin with, but with time you both open up and you learn more about them. You learn about their childhood, their family and habits.

Edwin and Fána returned through the library window and entered the hidden room. Fána finally got a chance to take it all in. The bookshelves were completely packed from top to bottom with tomes. All on different subjects, some so old and worn that they fell apart as she touched them.

“What exactly do you study Edwin?” Fána asked, her eyes full of curiosity.

A warm fire lies before you, around it, your closest and most trusted friends and family. Together you feast on pheasants plump and juicy. You sip on mulberry wine and dance until the night fades into the dawn. In the morning you awake holding the ones you love and kissing them softly.
