“To remember rape is to fold details into sensation, and so relive each time its terrible truth. He told you this could become habit, an addiction, until even despair became a welcome taste on your tongue. Understand, then - as only you can here - that to take one's own life is the final expression of despair. You saw that. Buruk the Pale. You felt that, at the sea's edge.” — Steven Erikson
To remember rape is to fold details into sensation, and so relive each time its terrible truth.
He told you this could become habit, an addiction, until even despair became a welcome taste on your tongue.
Understand, then - as only you can here - that to take one's own life is the final expression of despair.
You saw that. Buruk the Pale. You felt that, at the sea's edge.
