In a world where emotions were suppressed and controlled, I lived a life of monotony, like any other emotionless citizen. I took my daily dose of emotion-numbing drugs and went through the motions, never daring to deviate from the path set before me. That was until I met him.

Lucas was a mystery, a stark contrast to the grayness of my existence. When I looked into his eyes, I felt a spark of something unfamiliar, something that set my heart ablaze. It was as though he possessed the key to unlock a part of me that had remained dormant for so long.

Our encounter was fleeting, but it left a lasting impact on me. I realized that I was no longer content with a life devoid of emotions, and I felt a longing to experience everything that had been suppressed.

It wasn't until later that I discovered the truth about myself. I was an empath, gifted with the ability to feel emotions beyond what was considered acceptable in our society. And with that newfound knowledge came a newfound determination to uncover the truth about why emotions were suppressed and find out more about Lucas.

However, my powers made me a threat in a world that saw emotions as dangerous and unstable. I had to keep them hidden, always looking over my shoulder, or risk being punished. But, I was no longer willing to be a passive participant in a world that sought to silence me. I had finally found my voice, and I was determined to use it, no matter the cost.
