Chapter 52: It's getting worse

A Slave Mark was more than just a symbol; it was an indelible stain, a permanent reminder of one's past servitude that could never be erased. Once branded as a slave, an individual carried that mark for life, forever condemned to be judged and treated as such by society.

Even in the rare event that a slave was granted freedom by their master, the mark would remain etched upon their skin, an enduring testament to their past bondage. Despite their newfound liberty, they would forever carry the burden of their former status, forever branded as a slave in the eyes of society.

No matter how far they travelled or how much they achieved, they would always be viewed through the lens of their past, judged and scrutinized for a label they could never escape. The mark served as a constant reminder of their subservience, a scar that refused to fade, ensuring that they would always be seen as inferior, unworthy, and lesser than in the eyes of others.
