“I didn't drown. I didn't break.”
“When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn't want to drown anymore.”
“When Big Eddie left, I only worried about how it affected me. I didn't worry about the others. I was selfish. Self-centred. I took to the river and let myself float on its waters. I didn't care if I drowned. I didn't care what became of me. I was hurt, I was angry, and I didn't care what that meant for the future. I just wanted everything to stop.”
“I wanted to cry but I didn't, I probably should have cried, I should have drowned us there in the room ending our suffering.”
“I might have felt broken, but at the end of it all, I didn't allow myself to break.”
“Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.”
