   Summary

   "Shane," Ilya says, the single most important word he knows in any language. "I do not feel very good." It hurts like putting pressure on an open wound to stop the bleeding.
   "Okay," Shane says, "I'm coming home."

   I don't wanna talk about anything, I don't wanna talk about anyone. I wanna sleep in your car while you're driving, lay in your lap while I'm crying.
