At a simple glance everything is as it should be. You see what your mean to see; what everyone wants you to see. You see the exterior of the situation, the white lies that keep the secrets hidden and far from being found out. 
The dark truths are only unveiled if you search beyond the simple glimpses; if you look into the forbidden. The part you were never intended to see. But it isn’t so far out of reach if you look hard enough. The glimpses you get into not only your own life but of that of everyone around you are what can destruct you and bring you to your knees. Or they can make you stronger; make you into a new person.  
After loosing her mother at the tender age of seventeen Callise goes on a path of self destruction; becoming a cold hearted monster that can only be described as a spoilt brat. But beyond the hard shell is where the truth lies, where the real person can be found. All the hurt, the anguish and the dirty secrets are what she never wanted anyone to know about, because that's what kept her strong. Not having to see pity in people's eyes. The only problem is that neither secret nor truths stay hidden for long and that’s what causes her world to come crashing down on her. Consuming her and leaving her bare.
