Analysis of Dies Noctis
Eerie Air.
The hair on your neck even knows it.
Sounds stop.
The calm before the imminent storm.
Heart stops.
Dare not make a sound or whisper.
Darkness.
Surrounds quickly and swallows light.
Last breath.
The greatest moment flickers now.
The Path.
Which path is clear and Which one not?
The End.
What choice did you make at the end?
