Prologue
"Pain doesn't consume you," he tells me. "It controls you."
I keep my eyes away from his. Instead, I stare at my hands, the main switches of the powerhouse that is my being, the powerhouse I do not sanely control anymore. His words are repeated in my mind.
Pain doesn't consume you, it controls you.
"Why? Why let me go through all of this with you?"
He looks at me surprised that not only I'm facing him, I'm also speaking, something that I haven't done in a while.
"Because I saw that you wanted to."
He sighs before he speaks up again, louder this time since the thunderstorm still roars.
"I saw, deep down, that you needed this. An adventure in which you'll find strength. I let you be apart of my hell not because I wanted to give you a sort of favour. I kept you by my side because that want and need was the most beautiful thing I had seen in a girl."
