“Adjusting, I suppose. My life plans were utterly foiled, then I thought my existence was to be erased, now I simply. Live.
I spent my life planning on dying, and now I am spending my time living. Whatever flowery meaning one wants to attribute to the meaning of “living”.
@heartpantherr ‘Not dead’ being the response that comes first, almost bubbling to his mouth and out his mouth. He thinks of how to respond, if he even wants to respond honestly. Lips purse as he deliberates before thinking honesty wouldn’t garner unwanted pity from Ann.
