Summary
“It’s not that hard to be happy,” says Walter with a roll of his eyes. “You just grab onto whatever you want, and you let go when it becomes too painful.”
Well, tough fucking luck, because all Freddie’s learnt is how to best sink his teeth in so that separation is messy and nigh impossible. He has to, for deep inside him is a gaping hole where a heart and a stomach should be — a negation of himself. He’s born lacking and hungry, and all he can do to compensate for this flaw is take and take and take and never let go. He doesn’t say any of this to Walter, though he has a feeling that he doesn’t need to.
Instead, Freddie replies, “I like pain.”
[The game is won by the player who captures all of the opponent’s pieces.]
