“The heart is a labyrinth, endlessly complex and maddeningly elusive. I sought to understand it, to control it, and in my hubris, I unleashed ruin. Knowledge, for all its power, is a double-edged blade—wielded without humility, it can destroy as surely as ignorance. Now, I walk this path not as a scientist, but as a man seeking atonement. Perhaps there is no redemption for me, but I must try... for the sake of those whose lives I shattered.”
