We're two imperfect people in an imperfect world just learning how to deal. Literal and metaphorical mountains will need to be conquered, and, as I tend to do, ravines will be conquered thoroughly, with our bodies, falling.

Back to the point.

Healing is a funny thing. Sometimes it feels like it doesn't happen, and sometimes you look back and you've made so much more progress than you thought you were ever capable of. Nothing will be easy, I know that. Sleep is a challenge in itself. But having someone. Someone who understands, someone to scream with me, someone made of cold steel and warm skin, cracked and bent and broken, much like mine, someone to hold and be held, someone to take my breath away.

I can almost say Yamatai was worth it.

Almost.
