A NOVELETTE [COMPLETED] 1ST IKIGAI What does it feel like to shatter someone's innocence. Satisfying, heartbreaking? For Noreen, it was neither. Meeting Zagreus Oryn Astorias disgusted her. He embodied everything her childhood and upbringing had stripped away. She couldn't even believe someone like him could exist. So pure, so heroic. So she decided to break him. Not slowly, but in a single, devastating strike. She succeeded. Only to realize the outcome was nothing like she'd imagined. The innocent didn't fall. He became just like her.
