“This is what my life is going be like! Because of the pain, and the drugs I take for the pain, and the drugs I take the side-effects of the other drugs…You’ve seen it. And it’s only going to get worse. Life is all up here really, but it takes over. Gradually I’ll slip further into thinking solely about pain. And that’s not worth living for!”
Jim Moriarty has never been one for birthdays, even his own. That’s why, when he announces that they’re taking a trip to the coast this year, Seb’s suspicious. He’d never known Jim to do something without some type of ulterior motive, but he decides to shut up and enjoy the break from work. When they arrive at the beach Jim tells him the real reason that they’re here, and Sebastian doesn’t know what’s worse; the fact that it feels like his entire world had just splintered in two or that there wasn’t one ounce of surprise in his body.
