Illumination

Pain.

Without it, there is no happiness or sadness, no boredom that makes excitement worth living for, no emotion to make the world worth a stay.

When the sustainer took them away, I felt... pain.

The pain felt like a hot, sharp knife, covered in salt, slicing through my heart.

Everything feels so boring and grey.

How can I go on without falling apart?
