"She made my heart rate reach morbid levels, her compressed breathing and falling heart all warned me not to think about her anymore. However, she still noticed my gaze and looked away from me, but this made me not love her.
——Drich wrote in the diary left behind."
Zrian's stepmother Aria hangs low in the light. Her appearance is like the silent scenery imprisoned on the canvas by the painter. Her gentle and obedient expression reminds Zrian of the white magnolia blooming in the middle of the night, with a fragrant soul and a fragile and perishable body.
Zrian never wanted to accept his stepmother Arya, but he unexpectedly discovered the cracks hidden under Arya's calm mask, and accidentally encountered the young stepmother's fragmented soul hidden deep in her heart.
This made Zrian want to try to understand this young woman, and Arya's emotions changed from one-sided words to vivid pictures. When Zrian realized that he had entered a relationship that he should not have gotten involved in, he did not panic, nor did he want to escape.
Standing in the center of the vortex, Zrian saw an irreversible and destructive love. This love destined to be fruitless bloomed in the darkness. The blinding light and instant warmth made Zrian unable to extricate himself like a moth to a flame.
"I couldn't save her from her predicament, nor could I get myself back from a mundane life."
Concept: Love is broken and destructive.
