Do you see it, Max? It's all over me. The three letters, my skin is covered with them.

You can't see them all. Some have faded away. Some have left faint white imprints on me. And some are still scarlet, the recent ones.

But they will all go away, soon.

And that's when I'll carve more in me again.

But you know...my skin never scars. We were designed to heal quickly.

No scar is too deep for us.

No scar ever stays.

It heals. They all heal.

It all fades away.

We were also designed to be persistent, to never give up.

So I have kept up with this ritual for years. Ever since that first time Nasedo carved that symbol on me to remind me of who I belonged to.

I have kept up with it.

Each time I feel attracted to someone else, I remind myself of who I am supposed to be.

Each time I have doubts about us, I let me remember how it used to be.

Each time I see you with Liz, I drown myself in the physical pain, because the emotional pain is much, much worse.
