"Twyla, whenever I was tormented as a child, I used to imagine that my mom would appear and take me away from all the pain and suffering. However, that never happened, and I overcame it myself. After I grew up, I became so strong that no one could bully me anymore. Yet, I still feel like I'm trapped in that horrible past. Now that my mother has appeared, I thought she's the only one who can end the nightmare that has been haunting me for years."
Zane sighed. "Twyla, you won't understand it. You'll never understand how much I yearn for my mother."
He stood up and continued, "I think this is why it's better to be dumb and ignorant at times. Being too smart can be a form of suffering. Maybe it's better to live a life that is full of lies." Then, he left the chamber.
Twyla's heart ached as she watched the door close behind him.
