Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

“What is the essence of kindness? What defines evil? We both tread the path of death and darkness, so why are you branded as
virtuous while we are cast as the guilty?”
“Why are some of them thrust into a world where the distinction between virtue and vice blurs into obscurity? Just like myself, I
grew up ina terrible place. The martial arts, the bloodshed, it all seemed inescapable... I never wanted to kill anyone. I merely
yearned to survive... Do you understand? If I could have waited until the master’s return and become his disciple back then,
would you have extended your heart to me?”
Once, kindness was the only path Sarah knew.
Sabrina opened her eyes and, with a hint of relief, rose from the ground. She addressed Camden, “Camden, did you see that? I
am not suited for acting in the least.”
It must be acknowledged that the character of Sarah possessed a remarkably nuanced depth, a blend of good within the sinister.
Despite her role as an antagonist, she did not elicit sheer antipathy.
Camden regarded Sabrina with astonishment and countered, “Why do you say that? You were splendid! You epitomized Sarah
perfectly!”
Sabrina demurred, her tone tinged with self-effacement, “Camden, please do not offer undue praise...”
“Do you believe me to be disingenuous? I speak the unvarnished truth, Sabrina. You are an extraordinary talent waiting to be
discovered. To forgo acting would be to squander your remarkable abilities...”
Sabrina, with a faint, restrained smile, replied, “Camden, I possess no such talents...”
“Do not underestimate yourself. Even when you served as a stand-in previously, I recognized your innate talent. Despite being
new to the industry, you made fewer mistakes than seasoned actors.”
“No...”
Camden’s words began to erode Sabrina’s modesty.
Camden seized this opportune moment and continued, “Sabrina, I am genuinely unable to locate an actress of your caliber. You
are the ideal fit. Why not consider taking up acting? Reflect upon it. Did you not bear some connection to Galilea’s incident?
Would it not be advantageous to step into her role?”

Advantageous in what way?
Sabrina hesitated, her words cautious.
“Camden, might I be permitted to ponder this?”
“Of course! Take two days to deliberate. We do not require Sarah’s scenes for the next two days.”
Speechless, Sabrina contemplated her choices.
From Camden’s demeanor, it was evident that he anticipated she would agree after thinking it over.
Upon her return home, Sabrina found that the upper floor was undergoing a renovation.
She prepared a delectable lunch and dispatched it to Jennie.
As Sabrina ascended in the elevator, she crossed paths with a member of the renovation crew on the upper floor.
