Summary
«Give me your pain,» implores Yeji, gently taking her face in her icy hands. On her knuckles, in an eternal uroboros of abuse and healing, bloom violets of bleeding bruises. «I can withstand it all.»
But Jisu doesn't know how, doesn't know if she can - because pain is all she has known, torture and comfort for her distorted mind, and the hypnotic movement of the waves of her despair are the only thing she has control over, and can predict with cynical precision.
If this is the existence she is destined for, Jisu hopes that death will be kinder, and more merciful, and that it will be her butterflies to surrender her gently to the heart of the dark, cold earth.At night, Jisu dreams of stitching up bruised wings so that she can fly as far away as possible; by day, she bandages the wounds of tongues that are too sharp and plasters bones broken by hands addicted to violence.
At night, Jisu manages to love a mangled body and to cherish those who try to bring it back to life; by day, she wonders if a butterfly with torn wings can still fly.
