The Loop of Sorrow: Awakening in Darkness (2)

"Why do humans live?"

It was a simple question, yet so profound when spoken by Frey, as he searched for meaning in his cursed existence.

Every soul has a value,

determined by this pitiful life we're thrown into.

But Frey…

he still didn't know his own.

The value that had drawn titanic beings to him ..

beings who reshaped fate around a single soul that had only ever wished for a normal life ... with a loving family.

"This… is my fate."

A fate he never chose.

A fate that was never his to refuse.

– Loop 107 –

Standing before the corpses of his family once more, Frey stared at them for what felt like the final time.

"Everything I am today… I owe to you."

"You're the ones who made me into the Frey Starlight I am now."

Perhaps the higher powers had played with his fate, pulling the strings of his life from the shadows...

But the starting point—his true beginning—was always them.
