Chapter 59 Left Alone

• The birds, once ensnared by a sorcerer's enchantment, now appeared to break free at the mere touch of this small piece of paper. Their presence by the window sent a shiver down my spine, their eerie forms glinting ominously in the darkness, a stark reminder of a past I had long sought to bury. Now, as they drew near, it felt as though my very soul was being crushed within me.
• Why, Dad? Why did you subject me to this? Especially now, when I thought I had finally managed to move on.
• There was no escape, no way to evade the onslaught of memories and demons hurtling towards me. All I could do was surrender, to yield to their relentless advance, for no matter how fast I ran or how fiercely I fought, I knew I lacked the strength, both physical and mental, to resist.
