    Summary

    Sleep. He can't. It’s Thursday and the last time he slept more than an hour without violently thrashing was (probably?) three days ago, and he can't let Phoenix see him like this. He knows he will do everything to comfort him and the image makes him shudder; he’d rather die than be subjected to this; he’d rather die than subject Phoenix to this. But it was not the first time he’d been asked and he knew he couldn't hide forever, as enticing as it was; Phoenix is nothing if not persistent and yet still so kind about it and Miles wishes he were someone else who deserved it. He’s about to politely decline just as Phoenix says, “I have the new Steel Samurai movie that you have to watch with me,” and he’s clearly a weaker man than he thought. He feels like a guillotine is about to sever his neck from the body as he says, “You're playing dirty, Wright,” and Wright is fist bumping the air as if he’s done anything other than the bare minimum. He looks at him and he thinks, why why why.


    Miles' first night at Phoenix's apartment.

    Summary

    Miles wasn’t sure what had made him stop at the cemetery that day. He hadn’t planned it. If anything, showing Phoenix his father's grave should have been the last thing he would ever consider. Yet for some reason, having Phoenix in his passenger seat had finally given him the courage to face his father.

    Summary

    He spent the whole day curled up on the bed, methodically sorting the letters by date. Then, when he was done, he started again, this time sorting them by topic—Phoenix had a lot to say. School, Larry, the Signal Samurai, Miles, theater, Miles, school, Miles Miles Miles Miles— He gave up when he realized all of the letters could be put in a single impressive pile.

    On the third day his stomach refused to digest any more Absolut. He didn't feel any better, his mind wasn't any clearer, and the letters kept blurring, and he couldn't remember anymore if Phoenix had broken his arm before or after he had chipped his tooth. His heart thumped in his chest as he started sorting again, simple—read and unread. There had to be an answer and he knew he would eventually find it—if only he committed every detail of Phoenix’s life to memory the same way Phoenix had done to him over the years maybe he too would know what to do. He wondered, if Phoenix’s job was to save me, what is mine?

    If Phoenix had been there, would I have let him save me?
