    Summary

    Credence thinks of being human, of having arms and legs, of molding the shadows into hands and fingers and toes. He thinks about the shape of pale shoulders, the slope of a scarred back, the veins under near-translucent skin, of bones and tissue, of muscle and blood. He thinks of bitter tears falling onto pale cheeks, following the path of sharp cheeks bones until they drip onto a bony clavicle. He thinks of legs connected to knees connected to ankles and then to toes. He thinks of dark hair, dark like the night, like shadows, like the agony consuming him. He thinks of being human, of being alive, of being contained in a cage of flesh and bone and blood and sensation.
    He thinks of being human.
