He had given up.
He didn't care about what was happening around him.
He didn't care about dancing anymore.
He hardly cared for anything now.
But secretly, he cared too much.
I never meant to fall in love. I never meant to have children. I never meant to become involved in a war. I never meant to lose people I love. I never meant to let us be thrown down here. I never meant to become the royal scientist. I never meant to do lots of things in life. But I always meant to live.
