A few broken thoughts on broken lives

If a person's understanding of the world is different from that of most people, we call him a strange person. If he also has social-aggressive behaviors, a psychiatrist will identify him as a mental patient.
But if he was just silently different, no one would care even if he was alone for a lifetime.

What matters is not the problem itself, but how the problem is viewed.
Psychological crises often hide the key to unlocking the true self. For the male protagonist, PTSD means an opportunity to dismantle and reconstruct life. Maybe the first half of my life is numb, but the company of my lover is real. After rebuilding the world, those memories will become truly meaningful. The customer service woman is the one who really sees Davis. People really exist when they are seen. The little boy is his partner, and he also faces the confusion of self-recognition. He goes crazy together and makes trouble together, so he is no longer alone.

Really wanting to do something for a loved one who has passed away is the beginning of healing.
