Beyond is defiantly stuffing himself on strawberry jam until he's sick, because he's left the House and nobody is going to tell him what to do or be anymore.

Beyond is the habit of never looking at the person he's talking to, because the glowing numbers will only give him a headache.

Beyond is a cold shudder of despair when he realizes that all of the people he cares for will die young.

Beyond is a flashlight under the covers when a new manga keeps him up at night.

Beyond is a feverish mutter, counting down the days till his best friend's death.

Beyond is a wordless rage against the whole world, because what has the world ever done for him?
