Scared to be understood (pt. 3)

"We were always scared to face the truth. Our younger selves thought immortality would be a blessing, helping us conquer everything and making us the strongest. But in fact, we were cursed. We were always entirely a curse.

We can't do anything about it. Not when our souls decide to live on forever." Nancy looked up from the journal in confusion. They had read so far and understood nothing.

"Master," Beverly called him. "Please consider what I said…" She was straightforward. 

Sebastian sighed, looking away. "It's wrong." He murmured.
