ns216.73.217.100da2"To life: A world of Novels?" The atmosphere is heavy and oppressive; the protagonist struggles painfully, caught in a constant tug-of-war between self-destruction and survival. Yet, in the end, they managed to give birth to new life through their pen (is this a sort of time loop btw?). It is the desire to create that keeps the protagonist's heart beating. I hope the protagonist can soon leave behind the relatives who do nothing but put them down 🥹. As long as you keep writing, the story will never end!
"That Message" This reminded me of the phone numbers I used to see in the newspaper when I was a kid. I once tried to muster the courage to call one, and my heart really did feel like it was going to explode! Though, in the end, I hung up after only two seconds. I'm so glad the protagonist finally received a reply~
"The companion." and "Goodbye." Unlike the other entries, these two felt like a faint, dull ache of a heartbeat. The protagonist's most important person has left, and they must relearn how to live life without their other half... it feels quite bittersweet; ( Continue moving forward, carrying the memories of your loved one with you. ;)
