Summary
But Scratch knows him, sees right through to the inky black core of him where that pitiful thing roosts behind his ribs. Ichor and bone. Scratch knows why Alan is so tetchy with meeting people, why he doesn’t call home unless he absolutely has to, why things with Alice were sometimes so bad she would spend weekends at her parents house under the excuse ‘Alan’s got a deadline, he’s just so busy!’. Her parents always hated him, he doesn’t blame them. Maybe they could see the lie inside him, smell it through his pores like rancid sweat. If anyone gets too close, Alan is certain they would see it too.
