Funny how karma works, isn't it?

It's like a neverending game, restless and sadistic as it unleashes it's wrath.

Greediness will lead to dark minds, dark minds restlessly plot death,
death hires the grim reaper, the grim reaper brings hatred,
hatred leads to revenge, and that revenge will only upset another side,
leading to more bloodshed.

The cycle will go on and on, as karma is unforgiving.

Well, of course there's an exception. It goes on and on,

Until there's no one left to play the game.

Returning to that world wasn't in his control.

He never thought that he would rejoin such a group, go back to such a place.
He didn't expect to meet her. He hadn't thought their paths would ever cross again.

Submission wasn't on his mind.

Meeting Exo wasn't her choice.

She had never expected to lose herself in their insanity, just due to that one second of hesitance.
She hadn't wanted to get attached. She didn't think she would re-establish her emotions.

It wasn't her choice to fall.

Being targeted wasn't a surprise.

He had no knowledge of the outcome of the battle, crude and bloody as it came.
He never thought of the events that would occur afterwards. He didn't expect the explosion of war.

It never occured to him what she was.
