Don't eat, don't sleep. Never speak a word in your defense. Paper thin, easy to break, easy to lose. Never daring to disturb the silence. Staying empty, no matter the consequence, no matter the pain. Despite the temptation of sweet sleep, you stay awake. Dark circles envelope hollow eyes, within a sunken face. A voice so weak it is unable to make a sound, cries out. She's so faint. He's so thin. They're both so tired, they disappear completely.
