nora sakavic: andrew looked as he always had, and neil knew his face as well as he knew every iteration of his own

apologies in advance—

should we talk about how hard Neil tried to understand Andrew? that feeling of easing the pressure in your chest by hurting your own skin, because it helps, right? at least, it helps Andrew. and because it matters to Andrew, it becomes important to Neil too: understanding what he feels, more of his life, stepping beyond the narrow borders of his own existence, his vital goal of survival and finally letting something else into the center of his world. what kind of pain drives a person to keep hurting themselves just to feel relief afterward? Neil is so desperate to figure this out that, for the first time in his life, he tries to put himself in someone else’s place and understand what was driving Andrew during the worst period of his life.
