Ethan lay on the cool leather of the chair. He felt burning pain as his skin was repeatedly traumatized. It was a soothing pain, and as it occurred it reminded him of Odette. He wondered if that was what it felt like when she cut herself.
He hoped it wasn't. He hated the thought of something so terrible feeling so pleasant. He thought about all the times Odette said that self harm was as addictive as heroin.
Eventually he went numb. His thoughts ceased as he focused on the pain. He hated himself for letting Odette down, for hurting her. "You should never hurt someone you love." He thought to himself, as he drifted off. He also hoped he didn't get blood on his shirt.
