Apathy - Anathema - Affection

31. Apathy - Anathema - Affection

The last one. It's been a strange journey getting here, and honestly I had doubts that I would, but here we are. I'm glad I stuck through it. This short story is a bit of an odd one to end on but the old dichotomy of love and hate has always been an interesting topic. Especially as the two aren't quite as opposed as people think.

The prompt for today was chosen because I like talking quotes from my favourite media when I do these challenges. I didn't really have an idea in place for it. But exploring the strange feeling of attachment to a person you can't quite hate but also don't feel like you love is something that strikes me pretty close to home. It was a pleasure to put the feeling onto a page, and it has been a pleasure to share all my ideas with the world for the last month.

Prompt: 31. You were a most unkind and inauspicious man... but for some reason I could not bring myself to hate you. "Isshin Ashina, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice".
