Sometimes, his fascination with despair worried him. He had never been depressed. He was sad from time to time, sure. But never depressed. The mechanics of it: how did it work? Why did people stay that way? Was it a choice, or was it something unhelpable--something sinister that snuck up on you in the dark and pounced and clung to your shoulders, dragging you down into the dirt until you couldn't breathe?
Sometimes, his fascination with despair worried him. Until she left.
