It does not matter how pitch black their reality becomes or how many flawless stars are scattered across the vast sky. Desperate people will always ignore the perfect stars and choose to seek comfort from the beautifully scarred moon."

"Every single time I gaze up at the moon these days, my mind immediately drifts right back to you. It is not just because your beauty easily rivals the heavenly bodies. It is because you are the only one who can effortlessly wash away all my heavy worldly burdens."
