But this time it was not pain that filled the empty shell…
““But this time it was not pain that filled the empty shell, but feelings, flooding back, bringing knowledge and realisation. Here, and now, and his once more. Vadim. Forever and always. Vadim. His. And Dan cried, helplessly, while his good hand clawed at the other’s body, his body pressed so close, as if he was trying to crawl inside.””
