The journey into seeking what was once yours; if it was really yours. The return to the origin and start out once again. If you are willing to take on the difficulties over again if it only means for you to achieve what is yours or what may be added, something that you thought was yours.
Harper seeks for truth, the interface, the convergence, the harmony. Not knowing had been something that makes one ignorant and somewhat taken for granted when responsibility can be dismissed.
Who to seek when one does not know the question in itself. Who to trust when all people have ever presented before her, is masks that overcame the whole being. When nobody was there beside her, she sang herself to sleep and now the lullabies were forgotten, the voices jumbled up, faces and masks undistinguishable and stories and dreams were dangerously trudging on a thin line separating them, Harper finds herself amidst the darkness of an abyss that she is familiar with but not aware of.
"The world is a globe- the farther you sail,
the closer to home you are."
~ Terry Pratchett
