   Summary

   All his life, Arthur had never felt enough. There were moments in time where he reacted strongly, sure, but every emotion felt muted. The only thing he could feel was a total hollowness, so complete that it threatened to cave in his chest at any moment.

   --

   Arthur Lester, his history of self-harm, and his struggles to get better.
