Chapter 1: Jude and Identity
Chapter 1 begins with identity as a constant, an equation that remains balanced no matter what external forces act upon it. A number retains its value even when multiplied, divided, or broken apart, and just as in mathematics, he realizes that despite all the changes around him, his core self remains unaltered. No matter how many times the world has tried to redefine him, he is still himself, whole in ways that even he has failed to recognize. As he feels himself plunging into the darkness, weightless…-

Chapter 2
Whenever they shared their work, he couldn't help but feel that everyone else's visions were far more ambitious than his own. Chapter 2 of his journey revealed designs that weren’t just structures; they were statements, cultural critiques, and exercises in reshaping human interaction with space. His own work, in contrast, seemed almost embarrassingly simple—buildings that looked like buildings, with roofs to shelter, doors to enter, and walls to enclose. The realization gnawed at…-

Every time he heard the word “Daddy,” Chapter 1 felt like a moment suspended in time, as if he were still a child himself, or perhaps Flora was still young enough to need him in that way. Yet, even as he attempted a reassuring nod or forced a semblance of a smile, he could feel the weight of inadequacy tightening around him—a restless and insidious force that thrived on his every disappointment. No matter how much he tried to silence it, it was always there, whispering reminders of the things he…
