Arthur always knew that life is a book . This simple metaphor became not a consolation for him, but a guide to action. He was not merely a character, but the Author , and he treated his role with the utmost seriousness. Every day of his was a carefully calibrated page. He didn't just eat breakfast—he created the exposition for the new day. He didn't fall in love—he inscribed into the narrative a chapter about a great passion, avoiding cheap melodrama. His career was not a series of accidents, but a masterfully constructed rising action culminating in his own business. He despised plot holes —senseless quarrels, empty promises, wasted hours.

He did not cry—he sighed, as if weary from a life he had only just begun. With each year, his body grew younger. His arteries cleared, his vision sharpened, his gait quickened. In the mirror, he watched a face drawing ever closer to youth, but behind the eyes lived the gaze of an old warrior, tired of battles yet to come. When he became a man, he met a woman. She was as strong as a stone. And as tender as a memory. He fell in love because he recognized something deeply his own in her—and only years later did he understand: she was him. From this love, a child was born. The infant he held in his arms did not cry—he smiled. He knew: he would be sent back again, to the beginning. To that orphanage where a cradle stood in the corner, ready to receive the one who had already been. And then he understood who he was: — I am the mothe...
