    Summary

    Dick started to get angry when people wanted him. Angry when hands touched him. Angry when eyes trailed over him. Angry when someone smiled at him like they already knew how he’d respond.

    Angry when he caught himself responding anyway. And those emotions had nowhere to go, he didn’t know what to do with them. So he turned inward.

    He started hoping people would notice the damage and recoil.

    That the ugly marks would be enough.
    That the cuts would make him unappealing.
    That if his body looked broken enough, people would stop trying to claim it.

    And when things become too much, sometimes the simplest thing to do is disappear.
