The words sink in, like shards of glass.

Ice embedded in his skin.

Cold, sharp, calculating.

It's killing him, ever so slow.

But he doesn't feel, Spain doesn't hurt

Because Spain is different from the rest.

And Spain never wanted him to change.

Spain is different, different, different.

And Romano will never leave.

As long as he hides him from the truth.

That Spain is really just the same.

.

Romano can read into his eyes.

Reads the pain, pretense, the guilt.

Sometimes he thinks of leaving.

Going away, all on his own.

To somewhere where he can't make hurt.

If he's not different, no one can be...

...

But maybe Spain still really is.

Maybe he is because he tried.

So maybe Romano will change for him.

And maybe, someday, they're ok.
