Diamonds & Despair
The sparkle of a diamond is deceitful. It promises lasting love, yet within its heart lies a darkness, a hollow. Diamonds are mined from the earth's veins, born of pressure and pain.

An impenetrable code of silence
In the shadowy underbelly of society, a chilling code of silence often prevails. This unwritten edict dictates that members must remain silent about injustices.

As a result, accountability is often suppressed, allowing corruption to flourish.
Breaking this code can be incredibly perilous. Anyone who dare to speak out often face blacklisting, becoming outcasts themselves. This pervasive silence creates a climate of fear where open communication is frowned upon.

You yearn to escape, break free, get out, but the door remains sealed, bars hold firm, lock refuses to budge.
