" you shouldn’t listen to what people say, you should listen to what they are. "

    ' same thing. how a man speaks is reflective of how he carries himself, ' the cuffs on his hands wrists are tight, digging into his skin. why do you waste your time with me, in this hellhole? for example--you talk like a pretentious idiot, because you are a pretentious idiot. only pretentious idiots lecture people in jail.

@crownrust​ - " do you regret it? coming with me? " 

   there’s a temptation to say sometimes, yeah, but he doesn’t. partly because he knows it’d make faizah upset, mainly because he’s not even sure if he means it. where would he go if he did? he’s lost, they both are but especially him, and he’s clinging to faizah as if he’s the last lifebuoy on sinking ship. he has a lot of regrets, he resolves. but none of them have anything to do with you.

   i regret myself. “ no. i don’t. ” he settles on that, squeezing the remnants of his cigarette that fizzled out a long time ago. “ you weren’t gonna let me stay anyway. don’t ask such impossible questions, fai. ”
