FORGIVE ALBANUS

The day's burdens had been heavy, and the weight of recent revelations settled heavily upon me as I prepared for bed. The flickering candlelight cast long, wavering shadows across the room, adding an atmosphere of calm that contrasted sharply with the tumult of the day. As I finally lay down, the stress of the evening's conversations seemed to press upon my weary mind. The complexities of Boris's revelation and the ramifications for our future swirled in my thoughts, each one demanding contemplation and resolution. Yet, the stillness of the room offered a moment of respite, an opportunity to reflect and find solace in familiar comforts.
