Alice’s project

"If you don't relax and try to calm your mind, listen to your soul properly, one day, you will break."

Hearing that, I pause. Alice's words hit me like a truck.

The 8th Ocular is truly, truly amazing. Never have I seen someone who can read that much into me in such a short amount of time. Not only was she able to do that, she also offered me the tea as a reminder to calm myself down, to take it slow.

For many years now, I have been pushing my body and mind, breaking limits after limits, to the point of wondering if I'm really human anymore. There isn't any moment of rest because time is not a luxury I can afford. 

I know my body has been crying for me to stop for so long now. During the day, I'm always thinking of something, doing something, constantly. And at night, the insomnia is getting worse and worse. Yes, I'm an enhanced human, a cyborg; my physical capability is always at its peak. I can run and fight for days on end without getting tired.
