    Summary

    He stares up at the crucifix.
    Christ hangs suspended in agony, ribs carved too clearly, wounds etched deep. Suffering made beautiful. Pain turned into purpose. Luka feels smaller than ever. “I was told it was not my fault. They say God has a plan. That suffering has purpose. That loss… means something. But I don’t see the purpose. I don’t understand the plan. I don’t know what any of this is supposed to mean except that they’re gone and I’m not.”

    Or… Luka feels guilty about the death of his family, resulting in nightmares. Carter doesn’t know about it.
