This story is about being alone in your fears and feelings and continuously not finding the words to express oneself. The discomfort and messiness are depicted in the stretching and floating of the characters. You are bound to feel this uneasiness and unfairness. I found myself rooting for the parts where the character advocated for themselves. It is a powerful story that can be relevant to being introverted, queer, or forgotten in the midst of a war.

Recently, it has been hard for me to function for personal reasons, and the genocide in Gaza has not made it any easier. Reading books has always been my way of seeking perspective and gaining knowledge, and I wanted to share some resources.
