“When he stepped into the shower, the hot water scalded him. He let it run over his face, burning his eyelids. He put up with the pain, his jaw clenched and his muscles taut, suppressing the urge to howl with loneliness in the suffocating steam.

The moans of anxiety as I slept. The nightmares you couldn't save me from. You'll remember all this when I'm gone.”
