Sometimes, the sharpest pain we feel is the one we unknowingly inflict. Imagine this: bleeding on someone who once hurt you, but in the same moment, stabbing them back, causing them to bleed too. It’s not an intentional act but an instinctive reaction—a tug-of-war of wounds where the tools are knives, and both hearts are …
