”it took three betrayals for me to finally understand: the world is just an elaborate tapestry of lies..”

Kuni stared at you as you slept beside him. A stranger, who took him in and gave him a warm place to sleep.

”the first to betray me was a god, my creator.. my mother..”

Kuni reached out, slender, hollow fingers tracing the roundness of your cheeks.

”the second was a human, my family.. my friend..”

Kuni’s gaze traced your sleeping features, his throat bobbing as he swallowed the words threatening to spill from his lips.

”the third and final was one exactly like me.”

Kuni hesitantly scooted closer, his arms reaching out to grasp you. He held on, squeezing his eyes shut. Hopefully this time, when you awoke, you wouldn’t betray him, too.
