Interlude
The world is filled with many cruel things, but none are more dangerous than love. Love has the power to build kingdoms, inspire wars, and bring even the strongest people to their knees. It is the sweetest gift one can receive and the cruelest thing one can lose. For when love is taken away, it leaves behind a wound no blade can create and no healer can mend.
There was once a girl who knew little of love beyond the walls of her home. She never imagined that everything she held dear could be ripped away in a single moment. When her world shattered, so did the pieces of her heart. They say a person can die from a broken heart.
Perhaps they are right. Yet some people are not given the mercy of death. Instead, they are forced to live.
Of all the forms love can take, none is quite like the love between siblings. It is a bond forged through years of laughter, arguments, secrets, and unwavering loyalty. A bond that feels unbreakable. Until it is broken. And when it is, the pain echoes long after the person is gone.
