""I did not know how to deal with this sort of death, the one that comes slow and inevitable and doesn't let go. I am a soldier. I deal in cannonballs and rifle shots. I understand how a wound can fester and kill a soldier, but there is still the initial wound, something that can be avoided with a little skill and a great deal of luck. Death that simply comes and settles is not a thing I had any experience with." pg20" — Aug 26, 2023 10:05AM

I'd know blind rage and blood lust and a need for vindication. Instead I feel an abyss within me that's so deep, so dark I can't see within it; I can't see what it holds."

to never let ourselves believe
another person could love us--
