jouska- (n.) a hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head - a crisp analysis, a cathartic dialogue, a devastating comeback - which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage where you can connect with people in the small ball of everyday life, which is a frustratingly cautious game of change-up pitches, sacrifice bunts, and intentional walks.

Emylus is special; different; abnormal. With dead eyes and an over-active brain, her blindness has stopped her from creating the art that she used to. She believes that she can sense eye colours, that love is stupid, that everyone else is worthless. Of course, what kind of sappy and twisted love story would this be if it didn't all change when she met Truce?

Truce, on the other hand, is special in a way separate Emylus'. She was the victim of a serial rape, the culprit none other than her mother. They don't believe that she was raped by a woman, or that she's truly depressed, or that she's perfectly okay. She believes that the only person worth it is Emylus, an antisocial, blind, artistically talented, and genius hermit.
