it is strange, that despite the amount of pain they both feel in their lives, they are not able to connect with each other. is it possible, that pain is not just pain? that as terrible, as shitty as it is, it has subtle nuances? that a person can be more alone than alone, more in pain than in pain. that we can each be in our own different planets, alone and in pain, with no way in, and no way out. just waiting for the bubble to burst. a speck of a speck of a dust of a poof!
