She stood up, finally breaking their connection. She turned to him and said, “I can’t save you.” The pain and darkness that she kept stored deep in the recesses of the mystery that she called her mind, have seeped into her lips and her eyes. They infected her looks and yet somehow enhanced it. Her eyes were a cruel combination of beauty and pain. “I’m just as lost as you,” she said.

He cut loose the words that he painstakingly collected through endless nights of rumination. “You know the feeling when just as you arrive at school, it dawns on you that you've forgotten to do your homework? It’s a terrible feeling, like a horde of bats scratching away at the lining of your stomach. Then you realize there are others like you and suddenly everything is alright. You know you’re still in trouble but somehow you don’t really care that much. What I’m trying to say is that… we can be lost together.”
