Altruistic

“Disappearing sounds worse than running.”

It would be great if he could just let good things happen to him. It would be great if he found a way to fit himself into his own fucking equations. It would be great if he cared about his own happiness as much as he cared about everyone else's, it would be great if he stopped putting the world on a pedestal, it would be great if he just stuck around.

But no one knows how to make him do that yet. And, honestly, it's likely that no one ever will.

“It sounds more permanent. Doesn't it?”
