The relationship with Yuki had always been intense electric, in its own toxic way. It started with passion, the kind that felt like everything was falling into place. But somewhere along the way, everything twisted into something unrecognizable.

Yuki, with her sharp edges and the way she made everything about her, had a way of making you feel small. She’d always tell me how much she needed me, but the truth was, she never really saw me. She was too caught up in her own chaos. I gave her everything my time, my energy, my love, but it was never enough. Yuki was always at the center of everything, and I was just a shadow in her life. I’d scream, beg her to see me, to acknowledge me. But no matter how much I shouted, her words would always echo back as if I were invisible.

There was Zoey, Yuki’s friend, the kind of person who called herself a feminist but only saw relationships through the lens of competition. She'd tell me to "take a stand," yet had no problem undermining me at every turn. "She’s just manipulating you," Zoey would say with a smirk, but she was no better, always stirring the pot and pushing me to the brink of breaking. They'd get together, and Yuki would laugh at my frustration, making it all seem like I was the problem.

I could feel myself losing pieces, pieces of who I was, trying to keep up with a game I never wanted to play. I’d start to stop myself from holding onto the fragments of what I once thought was love, pretending that I didn’t care anymore. But the truth was, I wasn’t alive without it. Every day felt like I was drowning in her silence, suffocated by her indifference.

As the days went on, I couldn’t tell where I ended and where Yuki began. She'd walk through me, heartless, while I clung to the illusion that maybe, just maybe, she would care if I let go.
