LED ASTRAY: WHAT WAS BURIED? WRITTEN IN TAGLISH Everything we hold dear in this world, we foolishly expect will always treat us with kindness. We assume they will forever stand by our side simply because they have done so in the past. But humans are never that loyal or consistent. We see them every day. We live alongside them. We share our lives with them. Yet we will never truly understand what dark thoughts constantly run through their minds. If life itself is chaotic and unpredictable, how much more dangerous are the people living within it? If you believe you can trust your family, your friends, or even the voice inside your own head, THINK AGAIN! If your own dog bites you merely because you stepped on it by accident, could you have foreseen that pain? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. The human mind works exactly the same way. It is wild, unstable, and impossible to understand. You will never know what cruelty they are capable of or what betrayal they are already plotting behind your back. You may feel close to someone and believe you know them completely, yet deep inside, they might hold a version of you that is full of hate or indifference. It is a bitter truth that we are all merely villains in the stories of others. In their eyes, you are the obstacle or the enemy. In this cruel and messy world we survive in, never hand your trust to anyone freely. Do not even trust yourself. If you let your guard down and believe in anything too easily, you are walking straight toward the cold, sharp edge of your own death. - Zara Vien Chen

Hibana Concordia Avinica, an entitled, elite, and dominant, princess-like daughter of Joey Jeffrine and Annalise Callista Avinica. Every bit of existence needed to go her way-unless... you bestow her a fresh designer bag still smelling new. Haha. Kidding aside... Everything was meant to go her own way.
