Hm. Well, if it makes you feel better, I'm under no delusions about whether or not it's good. But for months, that was my life. It was violent, and I had to plan for it. And then there was when-- all that stuff around when I met you, and... This is a way my brain works now, and pretending to myself that it isn't, that wasn't getting me anywhere.

][:] well, consequence is when things happen because you do something. If something bad ended up happening, it would be better for it to happen to a pillow than to anyone here.
