章 1000: Jared's Reflection

'There's something else. Something deeper...'

Amid all of these things I noticed, there was this extremely unpleasant void that formed deep within me. It was a gaping hole that I had begun to notice ever since I started critically examining myself.

'I... no longer feel a thing for Karlia?'

It wasn't just in terms of romantic feelings or sexual attraction. I actually didn't seem to care or bother about her.

'It's strange...' A sigh escaped my lips.

Fortunately, I was able to notice that slight change in me. What of the other subtle ones? What of the ones I was yet to discover?

My personality, thoughts, and the elements that made me up were the things that informed my action. Without those critical components and biases, I could turn into a completely different person.
