Trauma doesn’t go away just because you found love; it sticks in your blood like a parasite you’ll always have to live with. I have desired her for years, always protecting her from afar, and stealing the voices of those who harmed us—silencing their cruel words forever. Driven by jealousy, I tear down walls until I find her, our love a haunting fixation that consumes my thoughts. When her façade cracks, I find my soul connected to someone just as unhinged as I. Will we see past our deep-seated insecurities, or will we burn the world to the ground first with our obsessions?
