There was a rage so deep inside of me that wanted a man to dare try to kill me. There was a hate so deep inside of me that wanted me to dare just die.

I cried because Lim was the only person who might’ve ever loved me, at least enough to see to it that any hand that harmed me lost the ability to harm at all. What did it say about me that my one true guardian angel was the earth’s devil?
