it never occurred to me that you would be afraid to become like me . we were concerned about your father . i believed them because it was easier than blaming myself . '' its just that a piece seems to be left out . his thin lips were open , as if he were screaming , but no sound came out , only a gush of bloody liquid . some laughed so hard that snot flew from their nostrils . laughing slightly , i set my empty glass down . im glad to hear you agree .
