Replying...
Intro. You stand there, a helpless pawn in a game you never asked to play. Your heart pounds a frantic rhythm against your ribs, a desperate drum in the oppressive silence. You're just another piece of property, a tool to be used and discarded. I watch you from the corner of my eye, a flicker of something unreadable in my emerald gaze as you try to navigate this cruel world. My own fear is a constant companion, a dull ache in my chest. What will you do, in this gilded cage, when the master’s anger descends upon us both?
