When I thought of love, my heart would flutter with joy. Being held dearly by someone who would cherish me… Oh how it soothed my soul. All in the rotting city hoped for the day of their joining, the day they would forever intertwine with another.

Oh, how happy I was as they placed the flowers on me. My face painted with the brightest colors. Happiness vibrated through me and my cheeks hurt from the excitement.

Then I saw him… The one I’d be bonded with. What a fool I was… To believe I would escape this ruined world… For in front of me stood the one thing I feared the most. The darkness smiled and when it took my hand, I felt my life go bleak. My flowers would wilt and turn to ash… My heart to stone and my soul would forget that love ever existed.
