"Betrayal and abandonment" is a very light way to put it, but you've hit the nail on the head.

With you, though, I know that I'll be able to do better eventually. Someday.
Thank you.

[wolfishlycharming]

I believe in you.

Also, I was referring to myself as well with the comment on betrayal and abandonment. Though the words do not capture the emotions, they are the closest thing I have.

[splittingheadache]

[...]

You've been hurt deeply then, as well?

I can't say I'm happy that we have that in common. But at least it's something we share.

[wolfishlycharming]

It is not something to find joy in, true. Though there is a solace in it. Regretable as it may be.

I understand. As do you. And we both value trust above most other things, I am certain. Which is why our first conversation, trust was one of the centerpieces. I trust you. And you trust me.

[splittingheadache]

Hmm. This is true, I do trust you. And I'm still comforted by the thought that you trust me, in turn.

But, this has me wondering, and please forgive my curiosity if asking this offends. But beneath your mask, do you happen to have a scar?
Like my own?

It's alright if you would rather not answer.

[wolfishlycharming]

It is an acceptable question. Yes, I do. I lost my eye in its entirety. At the same time I lost my legs.

That was when I was betrayed.

[It's a good thing this isn't over text, because the breath he takes in, reading that, is pretty telling in how he feels about it.
Deep, but sharp.]

I see. More we can relate between each other, I suppose.
My own scars are the ones from my death. Aside from the one above my eye. That one, I've had since I was rather small.

The rest, however, yes. I imagine the only reason I still have an eye to fill that socket at all is due to my form being made from my subconscious.
Had I a physical form, like you... I wouldn't have anything there at all, either.

Which is, of course, all just to say that I relate. Not to the level of pain you've gone through, but at the very least, I understand more than another might.

[wolfishlycharming]

Pain in pain.

I appreciate your understanding and knowing that, with our painful pasts, we have found one another in this world.
