The Penultimate Update Nora Had Posted Before She Found Herself Between Life and Death
Summary
- The chapter is a reflective piece from someone, Nora, who feels lost in life, akin to being stuck in a maze.
- Nora thinks about the different decisions she's made that led her to where she is currently.
- She perceives others outside the maze, who seem content and happy, having successfully navigated their own mazes.
- Nora doesn't harbor resentment towards these people, but she does harbor self-resentment for feeling unable to find her way.
- She raises a question, wondering if others share her feelings of being lost, or if it's only her who's experiencing this.
- She mentions, almost as an afterthought, that her cat has died.
