That execution will take place here. She runs her fingertips over the table beneath her. On this table. I thought it would be interesting to show you. I knew what would happen when I came here, I say. It's just a table. And I'd like to go back to my room now.

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who is detached from you. They just listen to what you tell them and you get to form the way that they see you, whereas everyone else in your life already thinks they know what you're dealing with or what you're going through. That's my recommendation for actual anxiety.

The warmth of his skin overwhelms the ache in my fingers from holding the bars. You all right? he asks, pressing our hands together. Yeah. He starts to laugh.
