y’all ever think about how anders was in solitary confinement for a year directly before being conscripted into the wardens, so him merging with justice was also his way to make sure he’d never be left by himself again

issue with being mentally and physically ill and/or broke is that all you ever do is survive and that sounds like enough on the face of it but it is very normal to want and even need more than that. and it feels almost dismissive to pretend like there’s not a lot of grief associated with the experience. because there just is
