Summary
This chess is brutal. Analyzing each move, each potential move, and why not the other moves, each potential position, each vulnerability is like they’re performing an autopsy, unmasking the other players and their games one at a time.
Chess is still beautiful to her, but in a different way. This type of chess is like a bruise, she thinks. It is a bruise that lays her skin bare, reminds her that she is just skin and bone. But somehow, she can’t help but run her fingers over it, the delicate flesh, until it smarts or the pain fades. And when she puts it up to the light, all she sees is a beautiful, mottled purple.
Without the numbing effects of the pills and the drinks, she finds she likes it, the way this chess almost hurts.
