nathaniel is in denial.
spinning on his chair, nathaniel looked up at the ceiling fan. it being a common pose — a pose that he regularly does. — he mumbled out his first word. the first word since him moving into this apartment.
' no. '
he firmly said to himself. about what was he saying no ? he, himself, doesn't know.
but at the same time, what did you expect ? he doesn't know anything, not even the actions that he does himself.
