A story of forced loss - of comfort, of safety nets. In the aftermath, spiralling, trying to find that sense of security again, and at the end of it all, realising that you are your only ally.
2. Breakdown Palace
A loss that shakes your core beliefs. A shattering of innocence, of a sense of naïveté and blindness to the ruthlessness of the world. A reckoning. A realisation of the absurdity of it all.

3. Between Light and Dark
