yourself to a bleak, violent darkness like his leaves can leave a lasting impression that most
people aren’t ready too be saddled with. but his is a complicated void. john’s moral system

that said, he does see something familiar there when he looks into her eyes.
but it’s when she asks what he thinks about having been betrayed that he
begins to suspect that she finds the prospect of playing with fire thrilling.
but that’s just his opinion, which he’ll keep to himself.
