The Duality of Bright/ His Final Puzzle Piece

You don't need to love me like before, Emma. I don't need your forgiveness. I don't even need you to love me again.

— Bright

============

**POV narrator**

The concept of duality within a person was an inevitable aspect of human nature. No individual was entirely good or completely evil.

Within goodness, there existed an inherent potential for wrongdoing, and vice versa.

Emma in the past had made the mistake of underestimating Bright's darkness, despite his efforts to present an immaculate image to the world.

However, all emotions, pain, anger, and even the darkest thoughts of a person, no matter how suppressed, persisted within and resurfaced explosively when one failed to channel and reflect on these emotions.

Bright, who raised under numerous pressures and responsibilities, without his emotional needs being acknowledged or fulfilled by others, embodied this reality.
