When people talk about ghosts, they always mention their unfinished business. Like you get stuck here because there’s one thing that you need to do. When you brought us back, I thought that getting revenge was our unfinished business. But it’s more complicated than that. Everything is unfinished. Our whole lives. There’s not amount of catching up we could do in seven days to make that better. Today I heard my mom’s voice, and it wasn’t enough to last me forever. Everything we ever did together was the last time. I’m not going to stop missing them.
You know how people sometimes say they have to hurt because if they don’t, they’re so numb they won’t feel anything? What if it’s the opposite? What if you hurt because it feels so good? Like you have a tingling, like someone left a switch on in your body. And nothing can turn that switch off except hurting? What does that mean?
