They didn't have to explain why. I can hear thoughts. I feel fears. Can you understand what that means? What it does? There was no uncertainty. I knew. I always knew exactly what they thought of me. I always knew what would happen should I ever fail in my efforts to hide everything I was that would prove them right. Knowing isn't a relief from pain. It won't free you from despair. You might find nothing to replace your feeling of powerlessness but the certain knowledge of it.

Though I don't know why they gave up on me before I had failed.
