What a fascinating piece. You delicately capture the turbulence of emotions and the fragile nature of relationships. I'm not sure but I suspect Bethany and Lukyan are not humans. Some kind of creature?
Bethany and Lukyan's relationship is a passionate but complicated one. I can infer that Bethany's feelings towards Lukyan are intense but she's frustrated somewhat due to deception and doubt. But does Lukyan love her in return? And why does he strike Bethany leading her to succumb to death? I think she gave up too easily but anyone can make such a decision due to emotional turmoil and unfulfilled desires or dreams.
Beautifully written! Thanks for sharing. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Take care. !LUV
