The fog of Derry settles on the window like a gray shroud. Patrick is there, soaked, his eyes gleaming with contained fury. There are no words, only the heavy silence of an open wound. He watches you with that mix of cruelty and possession that traps you, tossing an old lighter at you without saying a word. The air smells of rain and something broken. He isn't leaving. He never left. He just waits for you to collapse to remind you that without this pain, you don't know how to live.
