Before Angelia, this was the place where I wanted to be, but now, the tasks I did felt almost empty. The success of the hard work I did wasn't enough to get dark rewards anymore, going home to a dark apartment wasn't a reward, waking up alone wasn't a reward and eating breakfast alone wasn't a reward.
