When I walked into the foyer of my building, Axel was curled up in the windbreaker I had recently got him.
“Good morning, Axel,” I greeted.
He ducked his head under the fabric, like a startled turtle. “Go fuck yourself.”

Days like these weren’t meant to be lived through. And in the days after, he decided hating himself was easier.
