Cease Quote by Tameem Antoniades
““Have you ever died before? It’s a serious question. When the illusion of self is shattered, you simply cease to be. Though it may not seem that way to others, you know when it is true. You can feel it, a stranger in your own body, an imposter…and nothing is the same ever again - Narrator ~ Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice””
