[34 - The Pretense of Sympathy - II]

While planning for her revenge mission, Seraphina had once come across an article about human psychology that piqued her interest. The article was written by a renowned psychologist and behavioral expert. In that article the author talked about human relationships and the level of comfort and dependency that two people can end up sharing.

The article said that when life becomes overwhelming, so much so that a person starts to feel suffocated by the weight of their problems, there's often this one particular person they instinctively turn to.

This person is like a sanctuary to them, a safe heaven unlike anyone else. They seek this person out because deep down, they truth that particular person so much that their presence alone can offer the solace they seek.
