    Summary

    “Family? Family doesn’t do what you did.” His vision is hazy, he tries to blink the moisture away. “You have no idea what the thing did to us… wanted to do to us. What it tried to do to me, like, multiple times,” Naim says. Sometimes, he can still feel phantom hands pulling at his belt, turning him over, smashing his face into walls, clawing at his hips. Fingers so deep in his throat they scratched his esophagus until he vomited blood. He sniffles. “Fucked up shit, Mum. So much of it.”

    She reaches out to grab his hand. Naim doesn’t pull away. Tears fall for real now, hot and sticky, rolling down both his cheeks. “Mom, how could you do that to me?”

    It’s Christmas eve. Naim’s present to his mother will be their first face to face conversation in almost five years.

    Summary

    She really doesn’t look like a threat; as unassuming as her husband and sporting a kindly face, but the threat lingers, of letting Naim off with a stranger, of that stranger potentially leaving him alone anyway, of Naim getting hurt. They are both 18 now; no one can call the cops to take them away back to Bandee, so he supposes he should take comfort in that. Ryan is just so loath to leave him. Naim’s too trusting, too sweet, despite being burned again and again and again by adults acting in bad faith. They separate without touching, an unfamiliar sensation that sits under Ryan’s skin and buzzes with wrongness like flies in a trap.

    Ryan hopes their house is warm. Naim gets cold so easily.

    Naim falls ill. Ryan has to leave him with a stranger and go to work anyway.

    Summary

    As he and Ryan watch the TV in silence, the woman starts bouncing up and down on the man's lap, and all Naim can think about is doing that to Ryan.

    Ryan seems to be thinking the same thing because when Naim turns to look at him, he's already looking back, a smile growing.

    "Reckon we could do it better?" Ryan says.

    They improve over time.
