He didn't speak for a little while, then swallowed and wiped at his eyes. "It's like," he began haltingly, "there's a hole in me, in my chest and my stomach, and I can't fill it up. People say things to me and it just doesn't help and I don't know what to do..." He broke off, lip trembling. He looked away from her quickly.
"I’m thinking about the aurora borealis. You can’t tell if it really does exist or if it just looks like existing. All things are so very uncertain, and that’s exactly what makes me feel reassured." --Too-Ticky

Tomhas wiped his eyes again, shaking his head. "It isn't that simple," he mumbled.
