          ❛      WE   ALL   LEARN,   at some point.     ❜     there,   an idealism   long   dispersed,   subject to the bitter sting of disillusionment   :   what goes unsaid is the sentiment that   learning   is a game of dice,   and what is learnt will always straddle the line betwixt benevolent and malign.   for the span of heartbeats,   she is silent   ———   the query is an incubus,   of sorts,   draining sanguine   ichor   from gilded veins.   suddenly,   she is tired.   weary.   somber.   and her response is a loud whisper,   wisps of words strung together to form glass truth.    ❛      chaos.     ❜

        It was not unusual for people to see his face and feel a sense of recognition. Ever since Amy’s triumphant return, his face had been plastered over every magazine cover known to man. Big, bold words calling him a philanderer and referring to his darling wife as a hero. Despite his best efforts to avoid social interaction, there was little he could do to escape this one.
