𝓨𝐔𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐈 𝓜𝐈𝐔𝐑𝐀 always found life a senseless journey, where her purpose was nothing else but looking beautiful and getting rid of people if needed. She never minded having her porcelain skin covered with blood nor sweat, as if it would grant her a purpose she always lacked. Even the nickname she lived with literally meant "doll". She was beautiful, but empty. Sitting on a dusty shelf, awaiting for her creators to use her, to open her soulless eyes. 𝓢𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐑Ō 𝓒𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐘𝐀 focused on saving lives, trying to find out if his own is worth saving. Ever since he started college and even as a surgical intern, he hasn't been able to find the answer to his question. He claims that he lives only to show others how empty a human can be. One born to take lives, the other born to save them. A world in which there is no room for morality, nor principles, let alone for judging who is good and who is evil. Despite theoretical differences, they see each other as their reflection, but in another person. Both unaware of the meaning of life. Both empty as porcelain dolls. ──── 🃚 ──── started: may 23th, 2025 ended: n/a status: incomplete
