_Transcendent

A recurring dream from a fateful night haunts Varian. 

With a past he couldn't forgive himself for and a future he abandoned, his life in the present is in tatters.

But when you're alive, there's hope. 

The hope comes one day in an unexpected form. 

The painful past, the meaningless dream and the unexpected way forward force him to make a choice.

Stay broken and remain in the sorrow of the past he couldn't change. 

Or. 

Pick himself back together and try for one last time, to find the truth about his own dream and its connection to his unforgivable past, all in the hopes of forgiveness of himself, by himself.

As Roxanna walked away, I felt something inside me snap.

The way she looked at me, treated me…like I wasn't even a person.

There has to be something I must do. I don't know what. So, I let my emotions get the better of me.

I shouted, my anger overcoming my fear.

Roxanna paused, but she didn't turn around.

"Do you believe no one will hold you accountable?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"Oho." Roxanna's amused voice rang out. "Who will?"

"The military academy!" My voice quivered. It was the academy's dean who sold me off!

B-But! If I disappear for so long, then—
