fearful goth , he only knows loneliness , only knows darkness , knows nothing of what it means to have courage or what it means to be a hero . yet he finds himself shouting , he finds himself yelling , finds himself standing up for a girl he knew nothing of . ‘ leave her . . . a-a-alone . . . !! ‘ of course , he also knew nothing of mandy milkovich , and how she could defend herself more than he ever could . . . nonetheless , the pack of boys he’d seen giving her a hard time decide to bury their fists against his honey skin before fleeing . better him than her , he thinks . he’d gotten used to the multitude of bruises and scratches they’d almost become second nature , anyway . the weak are to be devoured , and he was certainly weak . / @mndymlkvch
