Only one person, in the hundreds that were involved, changed for the better. Only one tried to atone for the mistakes that contributed to the horrors that had taken place.

But, I'm sure that if you ask him, he will agree that one was enough.

My story is quite different from the story you are expecting. It is of love, of great passion, of horror, and of tragedy…But mostly it is about us. It is about the teacher and the student, the songbird and the rose, the guardian and the angel. It is about me, for my story is great…But it is about my darling as well. It is about a man who was born a contradiction to society and grew up with the truth. It is about a man who despised society with every fiber in his being, yet longed to be ignorant and part of it. It is about man who lived alone, gazing into the cave, longing for just a single person to walk out of it and join him, and then finally going in and dragging one out to be with him forever.

It is about my love, my friend, and my teacher.

My dearest Erik.
