Author's Note

These scenes... these characters... they've lived in my mind for longer than I can remember-replaying themselves in quiet loops, refusing to fade.

So I chose to give them a voice.
To give them life through words.

Welcome... to the most hidden corners of my mind.

Some of these characters carry my longing.
Some hold pieces of my trauma.
Some are shaped by my wounds... and some by the expectations I never dared to speak aloud.

Every emotion you find here has, in some way, existed within me first.

So step in, if you're willing.

And within this labyrinth of my thoughts and stories...
I hope you lose yourself.

And perhaps... never find your way back.
