Glass is fragile, just like promises. People are shackled to their pasts. There's nothing more to life than shackles and glass promises. Promises are easily shattered, like trust. Nobody really can be trusted, anyway.
Felicite and Leon are not the ones to change this truth. The cycle continues, unbroken but not unscathed.

Psychological Desires
He kills to cleanse the filth-the ones the world already gave up on. But then he sees her-innocent, untouched, untainted. The world hasn't ruined her yet, and he won't let it. The only way to protect her... is to take her. She was supposed to die. But she didn't. Because something in her soft eyes and steady voice reaches the part of him that still remembers what it meant to feel. And she-terrified, yet unyielding-sees through his darkness. She promises to show him another way to live. While they dance a delicate line between ruin and redemption, the FBI hunts him, closing in with every chapter. When they finally catch up, nothing prepares them-or her-for the tragic, haunting end. This isn't a love story. It's a psychological desire. And it always ends in blood.
