I've never seen this sufficiently examined. It mutates into a less-unreal reality that still seems different, somehow, than being fully present. Self hate is rarely unconditional. — Darin Strauss

Full lips turned up into a small smirk and Sin raised an eyebrow at him before turning back to the window. "It's a secret."
