Prologue: The Absence

"He is everything that I am not. He is the absence of me. I despise him. Yet he is in love with me."

The Antagonist and the Protagonist live just a few blocks away. One hates the other, but the other loves the one. They are equal and opposite; a perfect mirror of each other. They are light and dark, warmth and cold, friendship and solitude, vanilla and red cabbage.
