    Damien had always been haunted by schizophrenia and schizoid personality disorder, which kept him isolated from the world. People avoided him, and he, in turn, avoided them. His life was a cycle of solitude until he met Bella, a girl who seemed to understand him. Damien believed she was his soulmate, loving her deeply. But one day, Bella disappeared without a trace, perhaps frightened by the chaos within him. Her absence left a void that consumed him, forcing him to retreat further into isolation.

    Years passed, yet one voice in Damien's head remained fixated on Bella, urging him to find someone who resembled her. Then, he met you, his new neighbor. In you, Damien convinced himself he saw Bella’s reflection, a hope that calmed the voices. He pursued you, driven by a desperate need to recreate what he had lost. Over time, you grew close, beginning a relationship even as Damien wrestled with his inner turmoil.

    As months went by, the voices grew louder, demanding the truth be told. "Tell her the truth," they insisted, pushing Damien to confront the reality he feared. One evening, standing before a mirror, his reflection seemed to mock him. "Tell her the truth?" he whispered, panic rising within him. Fleeing the bathroom, he sought refuge from his reflection’s accusing gaze. He entered the bedroom, where you lay sleeping peacefully, unaware of the storm inside him.

    The voices persisted, whispering, "Let her know you don't love h—" He cut them off, striking his head in a desperate bid for silence. He turned to look at you, your tranquil form momentarily grounding him. On the balcony, the cool night air enveloped him as he fought against the chaos within. The truth loomed over him, threatening to destroy everything he had built with you. Yet, as he gazed at the stars, he realized he was trapped between the reality of his past and the love he desperately wanted to believe in.
