Everything seems to shatter for what Will thinks has to be the final time this week. There’s no way anything inside of him could break or splinter any more than it has now.
He’d expected the lights to be off when he walked through the door, hoped to sneak into a quiet home. To make his way across the floor and maybe, just maybe, find his way to his bed without disturbing Milo.
Now that he’s standing in the doorframe, he’s made aware of how utterly impossible such a thing would be. Even if he could make it all the way to bed, there isn’t a reality in which they don’t have to have this conversation. Somehow, Will had deluded himself into thinking he could fast forward through the interrogation, as if he’d only been out for the afternoon. But he’s just too numb, too raw now to think of anything other than tucking himself into their sheets and sleeping away the week’s worth of hopelessness, guilt, despair, agony. He just needs to sleep.
“I...” But there isn’t anywhere to go from there.
Will Moody, so practiced in conversation, never without a witty retort, well-rehearsed and suave and clever finds himself without a card to play.
He could drop to his knees now. Just start grovelling and begging Milo, find his way back onto some ground to stand on. But this week has already shown him how useless his pleading is in the end. No matter what deity he chose to pray to, they ended up laughing in his face, finding pleasure when it twisted and writhed with the pain that’s convulsing along his insides.
