“I wanted to tell Brian it was over and everything would be okay, but that was a lie. Plus I couldn’t speak anyway. I wished there was some way for us to go back and undo the past, but there wasn’t. There was nothing we could do, so I just stayed silent - trying to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what had happened. I thought about all the grief and sadness and fucked up suffering in the world, it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind, rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.” —Neil McCormick/Joseph Gordon-Levitt
