Some things fill the soul, expanding it in every direction.
Some things match it, like a shadow stealthily following behind.
Some things mock it, picking it apart, causing you to bust into pieces, flinging you far and wide.
Some things swallow the soul in a single gulp ending life as you know it, causing you to begin again.
Some things support the soul, giving you infrastructure to build high and wide and go for your dreams.
Some things send the soul flying on wings of fancy, letting you soar in times of trouble or glee.
Some things lift our souls from the depths of depravity and despair, saving us from fates worse than death.
While some things destroy the soul, tearing you down from the highest heights, plummeting you into a pit.

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”
