These walls are not of brick or stone, but erected from the very bricks of our past mistakes. Each fragile tile represents a decision we regret, a path we wished we hadn't chosen. They stand before us, imposing into the sky, a constant spectre of what could have been. We gaze through them, longing to cross over, but fear chains us back. For within those walls lies not only the pain of our past, but also the chance for something greater.
