Have you ever wondered why people smile at strangers? It doesn't make any logical sense. For all you know, the person you're smiling at could be the world's most ruthless killer. Yet we do it instinctively, as if trust and kindness are commodities to be given freely.
This contradiction lies at the heart of human nature-our willingness to mask fear and suspicion behind a simple, disarming gesture. But what happens when the mask slips? When curiosity overrides logic, and true intentions are revealed?
In a world where trust is an illusion and everyone hides behind their own carefully constructed facade, one question lingers:
Why do we smile?

"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died.

Silver : Living in Between (Tokyo ghoul Fanfiction)
"Why are we like this?" Asked a tiny girl to her tall dad which hair was starting to turn white already. The man had a grave look. He opened the door of a cafeshop and they sat. He ordered his usual while she took a hot chocolote. "Because I have had a mishap." he said with a bitter smile. The girl felt tears about to fell on her cheeks, but she refused to cry in front of him."Now I must deal with the aftermath. I have to fullfill my duty." On that he left the little girl alone in the cafe. He would probably never love her. She reminded him too much of his mistakes. A few moments later, a nanny came to get her. She didn't cry in the end. She was the living proof that her father had been wrong once. Unknowglinly, the man swore to protect her in his own way. It meant letting her grow up as far as possible from him. The girl was determined to prove him wrong. She wasn't just a mistake. This is the story of Yuki, a child with no place in this word. Her fate was either to become a monster or a saviour of these two worlds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO AI TRAINING: Without in any way limiting the author's [and publisher's] exclusive rights under copyright, any use of this publication to "train" generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to generate text is expressly prohibited.

What is my Fate?
It's a sin to many if you pick up the knife and holster it against the neck of someone, it's a claim to take that person's life. That's what they all thought is the same for many villains. They just never considered everything. If it is a sin, then give us the reason to why it is. Why in why thou art I would they even want to do it in the first place? They never...... it was all a way to hide their true pain. If this person was truly committed to hurting everything just cause it wants to, it would mean it's a monster. There was never a trick to it because only true monsters hide their true natures behind a mask. But of course there are people who hide behind a mask to get rid of their past in hopes of a new future. It succeeded...... sometimes. This world is already going through it's fair share of pain and suffering. Even then no one can't even accept as to what they are as their destiny is set in stone. No one even had a chance to break out of this viscous cycle. Would he of all break his destiny? Would he, Izuku Midoriya, change the fate that was set upon him from the moment he was born into this world?Complete

| | BOUND | | [Suzune x Kiyotaka] ~ Snippet of Chapter 1 ~ "Ayanokoji." She suddenly said my name with such determination that it almost scared me - key word: almost -, "Are you perhaps free tomorrow?" "I wouldn't say I'm busy. As a caution, I have to ask - if you are perhaps invited me on an outing - I would have the wrong idea to assume this is a food trap, correct?" "It's bold of you to incorrectly assume that I'm only offering you to come on an outing with me because I want something from you, alas, you are mistaken. Is it wrong to want to go on an outing with a f-friend?" "I suppose it's not wrong to want to go out with a friend Horikita, I'll accept you on the offer - seeing as I lack the means to refuse," I said, glancing at the compass that had returned to the hand of its owner, glinting in the sunlight. "Lack the means?" She falsely smiled at me, caressing her weapon, after all, it's rare to see her genuinely smile, "You have every right to refuse my kind offer Ayanokoji." "I gracefully accept your offer Horikita," STARTED : Sunday 14th April 2024 ENDED :Complete
