I am so totally confused in a way.

Is Tao the devil or he is alive because he made the deal with the devil?
Hence, Kris is still living because of his deal with the devil.

tao is supposed to be a dream demon sort of thing uwu so hes not rly alive no

Your style of writing is bloody perfect.. I actually cannot with this holy crap.... Is Tao supposed to be some kind of creature that only appears in dreams or... But yeah your vocabulary and the imagery was amazing and this story needs more readers! My taoris feels have been fed well because of this fic! Good job!!❤️ "In a world teeming with lives, where no surface remains untrampled by something which fights for survival, wisdom is knowledge of when the ending should come. No story should go on forever until its feet drag, listless, on an empty sidewalk lined with the structures of decrepit memories, and fade as nothing but a colorless vestige of what once was a chromatic work of vivacity. These useless pages are not needed. ". How do you even..... Let me have your brain pls..

This was perfection, I feel like I'm not even worth commenting this masterpiece, it's common feeling to feel bored to death and feel like our life is not worth living; but this is a very nice reminding that we're not living in novels. Drowning in these troughs will ultimately mean our downfall. Kris was too naive and stupid to see the truth beneath Tao's promises, too blinded by hope. What a pity it is...
Thanks you, I feel great when fics make me think :) real deep admiration for writers .
