To set down words is like a warrior touching a lover: brutality holds tenderness within it, disdain kindles hidden depth. Desire rushes between the lines, driving aphorisms like a raging wind; longing would devour the soul, yet like dew kissing a rose, madness and reason dance together.

Overlooking beings who stand arrogant at dawn and bow by night, one smiles at life’s unbearable weight—loving life simply because one has grown accustomed to loving. Within that love lies madness, and from madness is born lucid reason.
To understand happiness most fully is to see it as the tremor of a butterfly’s wings, the instant bursting of a soap bubble: brief, dangerous, and radiant.

The sounds began in the silence.
Not a crescendo, but an infiltration—a soft, relentless scratching that seemed to originate not in the room around her, but inside the canals of her own ears. Cassandra lay perfectly still in the dark of her graduate housing apartment, the thin blanket a weightless shroud over her slender form. Her eyes were open, fixed on the ceiling’s vague shadows. She was awake. She had been awake for the last forty-seven minutes, according to the pale green numerals on the…

Grace took Cassandra to the university hospital for initial examinations. The doctor made a preliminary diagnosis, prescribed some medication, and suggested psychological counseling. That evening, after taking the medication, Cassandra's voice not only didn't improve, but she was horrified to discover that the hissing sounds seemed to be piecing together English words she could understand…
Chapter 2 : Raid in Epoch of the Brood God
Cassandra continued her private investigation into the source of the mysterious noise, but it had already begun to profoundly affect her daily life.
