Sometimes, she felt a need to abandon her own weight. Often onto someone else's body. To feel their arrogant affection attempt to muscle out the contagious air of tragedy surrounding her. They never did succeed, and she went on, with the lack of something enfolded in her, still smiling.

All lacks are pretty much the same.
