I want to convince you to design a smile just for me.

For a moment I feel as though I exist outside of my body, as if I'm looking at myself from his perspective. I see my face, my injured arm, these legs that suddenly seem unable to carry my weight. Cracks begin to form along my face, all the way down my arms, my torso, my legs.I imagine this is what it's like to fall apart.

If it were nothing but sexual attraction I’m sure I would not suffer such unbearable humiliation. But I wanted so much more than her body.

I’m happy to have her close even if it hurts, even if it doesn’t make any sense.

Happiness does not happen. Happiness must be uncovered, separated from the skin of pain. It must be claimed. Kept close. Protected.

Right now I feel certain that my imagination is much more dangerous than any of his truths.

Oh, you are in for a world of pain, bro. A world. Of. Pain.

You eat like a caveman.""No, I don't," he says angrily. And then, a moment later: "Do I?"Warner to Kenji

No one warned me about the nightmares, the panic attacks, or the dark destructive thoughts that would follow. No one explained to me how darkness works, how it feasts on itself or how it festers. I hardly recognize myself these days. Becoming an instrument of torture destroyed what was left of my mind.- Warner
