Villeane [NARRATING]: We were always the opposite of each other. Opposing. Contradicting.

...

Villeane [NARRATING]: But that didn't stop us from loving one another.

~ Before ~

Villeane [NARRATING]: We met at a hobby organization. "What's that?" You may ask. Well, it's a small event for numerous hobbies. Anyone could sign up and freely do their hobbies as they please. Nothing stopped them. I met him while I was signing up for "Mysteria", a small event for those who would like to pursue criminology. He watched as other fellow learners and I signed. After the signing, I approached him. I asked what he was doing, as I found it creepy for a random just staring at other people sign. He gave a simple response.

"It felt nice watching others pursue their hobby."

We hung out afterward. We headed out for coffee and discussed what we'd like to do in our lives. He was quite odd if I'm being honest. And that, I mean, he wanted to commit a crime. Nothing too brutal, really. He just wanted to rob someone.

He told me, growing up for him was difficult. Everything would always be taken away from him. Starting from his parents taking away his hard-earned money from his side jobs, his siblings taking away his possessions, and even his friends taking away everything he's worked for at school. I pitied him. Though, I didn't quite know what I pitied more. His life, or what he's become.

Regardless, I still stuck to him. Quite ironic how I wanted to pursue a course in criminology and yet, I hung out with a criminal.
