The first chapter of the Chasing the Light series.
"What should I call you, observers? Expeditioners? Oh, these don't really suit you, let's call them survivors. Does light burn the skin? I once suffered from this disease, and I was also afraid of light. I asked for help from the light and was burned by the light at the same time. Isn't it ridiculous? But it's all in the past. Do you also get this disease? Ha, at least you don't have it now. Feeling hopeless? This is normal. Please don't deny its existence, this is more desperate than despair."
Intention: Darkness will swallow and tear until it disappears.
