The Epilogue ❤️
Warnings: If you have read this far, you should already know that this book does include some triggering topics. Obviously, the book is named "The Pain of Existence".
The book is not necessarily rated mature, but it has topics like hinted violence, self harm, emotional masochism and suicidal instincts. Please continue with caution and know that I do not encourage these behaviours, they're just a part of life that I ought to address.
