But I haven't listened to anybody's warnings, so I went. The thing is: I do not have to suffer in vain. I could have not forseen everything. It was a trap, and I am still trapped here. Why did I go to the trap knowing that some situations would force me to do something out of the order?" Gryb wrote.
