   Summary

   Resilience is a fucking lie. We don't endure endlessly and certainly not poetically. We snap when pressure is applied for prolonged periods. Some would argue that it takes breaking something to be great. I'm not sure if this is true.

   I wanted to explore what kind of Carmen Berzatto would rise from destruction. He'd suffered. He'd mourned. But, he never broke.

   This story is about what we become after we've been broken.
