The protagonist of the story is consumed by a deep-rooted sense of unease that haunts him at every turn, preventing him from ever truly finding solace in his existence. Despite his best efforts to escape the grip of this internal turmoil, he is constantly reminded of his own inadequacies and failures, which only serve to deepen his sense of despair. The protagonist's inability to find peace is not simply a matter of external circumstances, but rather a reflection of his own internal struggles and conflicts.

However, these brief respites are always short-lived, leaving him even more desperate and despondent than before.
