“One of the towers has fallen. When it's our turn to leave, it's like something in me is finally willing to listen, and suddenly I understand what it means. The tower doesn't exist anymore.

Empty inside, to the point of numbness. It's like there's something already dead inside. My whole being has been pulling back into that void for months.”
