Overwhelming hearts

Amidst the whirlwind of my thoughts, one truth pierced through the chaos: I couldn't endure this solitude. Fueled by urgency, I made a firm decision to retrieve Benjamin and face whatever awaited us together. As the weight of unfamiliar discomfort pressed upon me, I couldn't bear to brave this night alone.

 

Determination driving me forward, I rose from my seat, ready to embark on the mission to reunite with Benjamin, undeterred by the potential sacrifices ahead. And so I trailed behind, resolved in my pursuit.
