Well, I guess that''s what happens when you pay $5 for a LinkedIn profile makeover and call it a ''personal brand.'' Meanwhile, in reality, they''re still living in their parents'' basement, eating Cheetos for breakfast, and wondering why their dog won''t return their calls. But hey, at least their bio said they''re a ''visionary thought leader''... in their own minds.

I''m not going to make him pay for his sins just yet. Though they are fewer, they are still painful. I’ll wait until all his misdeeds accumulate, leaving him with no room for my mercy. I know where my destiny is leading me; if it''s not Cillian to whom I''m tied, then it will be no one else. If he''s really going to stand next to me for as the future wills, then probably, I''ll have to make sure there''s no room for him to linger in my life, no space for his presence to disrupt the path I’ve chosen. I’ll push him away, creating a distance that feels insurmountable, until the memories of what we once shared fade into nothingness. It’s easier this way—less complicated. I’ll keep my heart guarded, ensuring that no one can slip back in, because I know that closeness only invites pain, and I''m not interested in entertaining such claptrap. I thought, pulling my head away in distress.

VELES. DO NOT SLIP INTO MY NECKLACE. LET''S BOTH TAKE HIM DOWN ONCE THE TIME IS RIGHT. SO BE PATIENT PLEASE.
Veles, get a hold of yourself. If you keep asking me like this, not only will my mana but my body will collapse entirely.
