Hollow. He's been called the hollow by everyone in Utopia. One that dies each day for other's happiness. It's not a punishment, they said. It's a sacrifice, a huge sacrifice. One that everyone will respect.
"I brought you sweets." Yoongi speaks, putting the bowl of freshly made delights on the table.
"There was no need." The man turns to him, "How many times do I have to-"
"They call these delights because you're supposed to enjoy them. These are not to satisfy hunger."
Laughter fills the room, except that it's coated with gloom. There's the familiar silence afterwards. It's too dark to see him clearly, but Yoongi sees the way he closes his eyes, sighs, and turns to gaze at him.
"I exist for their enjoyment, their satisfaction. I'm only the keeper of void, forbidden from your world. So why do you do this?"
"Because I still have humanity in me."
