Neifile warns against “presumption”:
acting like you know more than others

and pitting yourself against everyone
and the laws of Nature. Love is one
of those things that defies wisdom,
knowledge or outside pressure. Her

story, therefore, will be about a woman
who tried to outwit Love and lost it all.
