Entre tanto y tanto, ciertos hilares del destino toman por correcto entrelazar algunas cuerdas que son, en esencia, muy diferentes entre sí. Como cuando el comediante posterior a un festejo llora, sin remedio y preso de la tristeza, después de recibir una fatídica noticia de muerte. O la forma en que gritan los demonios de una joven insatisfecha, frente a la inclemencia del tiempo y el espejo. Al igual que como cuando el dolor previo abandona el cuerpo de un alumbramiento natural, dando paso al solo regocijo y claridad. Son, en su mayoría, formas consumadas de una ironía universal mal comprendida. Pero, no por ello, deja de ser hermosa, ante los ojos del artista. Creador de mundos y verdades. Prolongación de la condena y la vida.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
