They called him “The Hollowed One,” a man rumored to wander through abandoned streets long after midnight with no memory of who he once was. According to legend, he had spent years suppressing his grief, rage, and fear until his mind could no longer contain it. One night while staring into a broken mirror, he felt invisible hands tearing his thoughts apart, peeling his very consciousness open like flesh. The more the unseen hands pulled, the more pieces of his identity disappeared into the darkness inside his head. His eyes turned pale and empty because he had witnessed every terrible truth about himself at once, leaving him emotionally numb and detached from humanity. Some believe the hands belong to the people who hurt him throughout his life while others think they are his own manifestations of self-destruction and inner torment. Ever since that night, the Hollowed One has existed between sanity and madness, wearing the face of a human while carrying an endless void where his mind used to be.
