  Summary

  I know a lot of people don’t bother reading notes and warnings but before reading this story, please DO. Firstly cause I’m really lame with summaries, and secondly cause the different notes will give you more indication about what this story will really be about. Also there are a lot of warnings, triggers and explanations I want the reader to be aware of before reading, so please, do read them! Thank you~ (you'll find the summary down below)

  Also, I couldn't put all the tags up there and they're looking weird on the presentation cause it's my first time posting on Ao3 and I didn't know I shouldn't put dots in there lol. I'll fix it when I have time. Skip directly to chapter 0 and you'll have them all written there it will be much clearer.

  But who was to forgive?

  The Monster itself?

  Or its Creator?
