The story is not for the light-hearted, however, as the author dives deep into a Machiavellianism-esque horror show of nightmare fuel and poignant intrigue, with a sample paragraph such as:

* <em>I feel it grow inside me, something sick and distorted, living (and dying) as chaotic beauty. To call it energy wouldn’t be completely true, as it’s closer to just a state of emotion running wild in my veins, vibrating and rushing towards the exit. It wants out, it wants to be released into the world to join the rest of the cursed, wretched, wicked power laying siege on the country. It cries out at night when the moon’s gone and I can’t hear Toge’s soft breaths because cotton fills my ears, sap shuts my eyes, and iron-tinged sweat weighs me down into a stifling cocoon. </em>

The story is not for defies the light-hearted, however, as the author dives deep into a Machiavellianism-esque horror show of nightmare fuel and poignant intrigue, standard self-insert formula, with a near parody of GodModeSue in the form of Tomoe acknowledging the ridiculous power imbalances between sorcerer abilities, and often thinking of herself as a non-human creature. The sample paragraph such as:

* <em>I feel it grow inside me, something sick
below highlights this:
*''We walk among the stars
and distorted, living (and dying) as chaotic beauty. To call it energy wouldn’t be completely true, as it’s closer to just ourselves gods. We wear a state crown of emotion running wild broken antlers in my veins, vibrating someone else’s dignity and rushing towards shame. We’re different, us versus them, us versus the exit. It wants out, it wants to world, and there’s never any changing that. We’ll be released into alone, high in the world to join clouds, asking the rest of sun to set and the cursed, wretched, wicked power laying siege on the country. It cries out at night when the moon’s gone and I can’t hear Toge’s soft breaths because cotton fills my ears, sap shuts my eyes, and iron-tinged sweat weighs me down into a stifling cocoon. </em>
