That was what it meant to love someone, right? You couldn’t leave them, even if they hated you. You could never let them go.

“Here’s my question. If the ghost wants nothing more than to be witnessed, why would it appear behind you, not in front of you? The only answer I can think of is this: it appears behind you because it already knows, to an absolute certainty, that you will have no choice but to look back.”
— I Am In Eskew, David Ward

If after 15 years and lots of therapy you ask your mother to
acknowledge the way she failed to protect you, and she still
responds by turning the volume on the television up, and only
then do you begin tugging your roots free of her, are you
holding a grudge, or is the grudge holding you, like your
mother should have?
— Rachel Wiley, from "The Mother Riddle," Revenge Body
