    Summary

    “Grace like wings, question?”
    “Yeah.” I extend the uninjured one, admiring the plumage. The movement still aches — my entire body does — but my wing unfurls with a rustle of soft, sleek feathers. Each feather is a gradient, starting blond near the base and fading into white along its length. “Wings are very good. When I woke up and saw them the first time I was a bit confused, but then very happy. It’s a sign that I’m here for the right reasons, even if space is scary.”
    “Humans are strange,” he says. “Grow extra limbs because sacrifice. No make sense.”
    “Yeah, I know. Now watch with me again to make sure I do this right.”
    “I watch,” he agrees, and we settle down together as I press play again.

    Summary

    Grace has a problem. He's not sure if it's something he wants to fix.

    Turns out, he’s still addicted. But this time, there are no substances involved. He’s doing this on his own, out of sheer will, rooted off his self-hatred. He’s addicted to something else: letting himself deteriorate. Letting himself lay awake late at night in discomfort. Letting himself cry because this is the only thing that gives him a sliver of control. Taking his new chance for granted because self-sabotage has always won over everything else.

    Derek remained frozen for a few more seconds before replying.

    Why did I just say that?

    OR
