Yet with every village you enter, every testimony you record, and every ritual you perform, you begin to realize the line between righteousness and cruelty is far thinner than you were taught to believe.The deeper you dig, the less certain you become of who the real monster is.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
