VERMILLION

Sometimes we dream of freeing our souls and blending in with nature, with the world, made of the same substance as we are. But life, affections, and luck can weigh down our souls and prevent us from doing so. So, in our minds, in our imagination, we free ourselves from everything that weighs us down, we become free and light. There, everything seems perfect. And it is perfect, a perfection we pay for with our freedom, with our very lives, with our blood. There, everything is perfect, but it is precisely that perfection that reminds us that it cannot be real, and that we are sacrificing something precious for a perfection that we will never see clearly before our eyes.
