Prologue: Loneliness

I can sense it!

It's approaching!

The one we all consciously or subconsciously fear.

Death is approaching!

And all that is left in my old weathered bones are regrets!

Regrets of leaving an unsatisfied and lonely life.

I never wanted to be rich; all I sought was a few friends and a loving family.

Yet, as a dying old man on his deathbed, the only thing I have is a substantial bank balance. And not a single person besides my deathbed will moan for me.

All I yearn to do is rewind this passage of time and rectify the mistakes I made in my life...

Free from work and stress, I long to relish life... I want to be young again... I desire companionship... I yearn for a spouse... perhaps even a few children... and the one thing I never wish for is to endure this loneliness!

However, it remains an unattainable dream. Soon, life within me will weather away, leaving behind an empty, lifeless shell, a dying wish, and a life story filled with regrets.

The true worth of a person's life reveals itself only upon their death!

It doesn't lie within the wealth they leave behind!

Instead, it resides in the tears shed by others mourning the loss of that person, guiding them to the afterlife.
