“You know, I’ve met death. Rather polite, actually. But it doesn’t knock, just lets himself in.”

Life. That fleeting flicker between two eternities of silence.

People spend it chasing things—money, love, validation, a good seat on the train. They build empires of paper, relationships of glass, and sleep each night under the illusion that tomorrow has been promised. But it hasn’t. It never was.

Death doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care if you’re a king or a child. It arrives like an old friend, or a thief, or worse—like something you invited in.

And yet… every now and then, the universe hiccups. A soul slips through. A crack opens. A second life is born—not as a reward, no, but as a test.

Because what could be more dangerous than a man who's seen how the story ends—and comes back knowing exactly what not to do?

But here’s the rub: a second chance is not a reset. It’s a curse with velvet gloves. You remember the pain, the loss, the betrayal—and worst of all, the choices you didn’t make.

So when someone tells you this is just a story about life and death, smile politely.

In many cases—in most cases—you’ll hear stories of heroes rising from the ashes, grateful for their second breath.

However… in my case?

I wanted to be the villain. To see a different end to this story.

People say a person’s nature is hard to change. That deep down, we are who we are.

But I changed... simply because I was curious.
