You don't see fae anymore. Did they disappear into the void?
In truth, we often come to resent the lives we used to lead. Centuries of shifting values and behaviors would make anyone hate themselves, and our obsessive nature makes it hard to let go of even the smallest regret.
The void is the imagined place that is a metaphorical counterpart to vertigo urge to jump from high places. Except it is to do with nihilistic oblivion.
