Ophelia, /oʊˈfiljə/ Help, aid, secour.
When an orphan girl suffers, it's only the duty of the monsters under her bed to save her.
"Ever since I was a little kid, I loved silence.
Being surrounded by quietness made me more at peace with myself, with my environment, with my soul.
Thinking that you're alone like it's yourself against the world. But let me tell you friends, you are never alone.
You will always have a shadow, a quiet presence watching you from afar.
But they are never that far. No, they are way closer than you think.
You may call them "presences", I call them the monsters under my bed."
