    Summary

    Edward's life would be so much more tolerable if he could only sleep.

    He knew he didn’t deserve the relief.

    He drifted, red eyes downcast, through the crowds in the streets. People didn’t notice him. People never really looked. People made an unconscious space around him as he drifted down the cobbles. Quarantined, even now; separate from them—from humanity.

    He was lonely.

    He wouldn’t admit it to himself.

    He looked in on bright shops selling candy, jewelry, happiness... and felt even more unacknowledgedly alone. What did happiness look like for something like him? Was it possible? Was it even something that he should allow himself?

    Guilty as he was?
