No Secret Club of the Perfected
The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day has finally fallen. In the gathering dark, the old fear whispers that everyone else holds a secret you were never given.
That they are whole, and you are merely pretending. But listen — there is no secret club of the perfected.
There is only the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. You are not a fraud waiting to be found out; you are a child of true Humanity existing within you, waiting to be followed.
The light does not demand you figure it out before it stays. It simply says: do not let your hearts be troubled.
You don't need to know the way; you only need to remain.
