description: Emery
   No matter how hard I try, I never seem to be able to escape my family’s world. Their madness controls my life, just like insanity consumes my mind. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s real. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who I really am. The person everyone sees? Or the one I keep trapped inside? I wonder which person Ryler sees. Just like I wonder who I can trust.
  Wonder. Wonder. Wonder.
   I wonder too much. I wish I could just find a way to escape it all and finally be free.
  Ryler
   I live a double life and sometimes I hate myself for it. Watching Emery fall apart—pretending I don’t care—is killing me inside. I want to tell her the truth, but I also want a new life.
  Want. Want. Want.
   I want too much. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what I really desire. I wish I could be free from the confusion, free from this life.
