I was exchanging songs with my aunt and then she sent me this glorious song bleed out by blue October and it reminded me of Neil! This part specifically ⬇️
I recommend listing to the whole song
Also this song can literally go with character in aftg.

I am not inherently compelled by Starfield's universe, but I have no real expectations, so I'm willing to let the funni Garfield game change my mind come September 5th.
Most of Razorblade by Blue October is explicitly about sexual abuse, which isn’t how I see Hunter’s deal (many, many other kinds of abuse, just not that one…) but it still has some lyrics that are painfully on point for him.
Did this one pretty quickly and intentionally left it rough, for the ‘raw’ vibe and also just because I wanted to get it out.
Cupid's got a needle.
It'll find a vein.
Careful, 'cause you'll bleed a little.
But pretty soon romance will marinate your brain.
