Summary
The war ended, but Harry Potter did not survive the peace.
While the wizarding world celebrates the fall of the Dark Lord, its "Savior" drowns in the silence of a house that smells of dust and oblivion. Harry has forgotten how to eat, how to sleep, and how to wash the trace of death from his skin.
Institutionalized in St. Mungo's to prevent him from becoming his own victim, he is left under the care of the only man who doesn't look at him with pity: Draco Malfoy. In a labyrinth of panic attacks and broken memories, Harry will have to decide if ataraxia is a state of peace, or simply the name we give to giving up.
"You're so pathetic you can't even look me in the face," the blond said. "Get up and hit me, Potter! I know you can!"
