Chains of Remorse
Back in the sterile present, Steve’s voice cracked with emotion. Tears welled in his eyes as he finally gave voice to the regret that had haunted him for years. “This ring—it didn’t just change my life. It ruined it,” he whispered. The weight of his choices seemed almost too much to bear.
