Student Narrative

This book uses the Venus Flytrap as a metaphor for relationships that become harmful when held too tightly. What begins as care slowly grows into something consuming, revealing the danger of affection without boundaries. The narrative reflects on how maintaining a gentle distance can sometimes protect both sides.
