companion
A companion is described as someone to weather life’s storms together, yet in reality serves as a convenient shield chosen for one’s own benefit. They feign loyalty only to betray you at whim, challenging the very notion of their worth. Symbolic of trust built on mutual vulnerabilities, they can also be the most troublesome nuisance generator. Praised as a heartwarming tale in films and dramas, in real life they often turn out to be nothing more than a disposable pawn.
