    Summary

    A soulmate, by definition, was someone chosen for him by God, and whom he was chosen for in return. It signified love and respect, both of which Aldo never imagined having for Tedesco, or being received from him. He was confined to a soulmate who would never even dare try to love him.

    Summary

    “I know this is difficult. I know you do not like this. But you are starving yourself, Thomas, and God would not see you starved. I would not see you starved.”

    Thomas wonders what it says about him that one of those means more than the other— and what it means that this does not bother him as it should, this blasphemous thought, this sacrilegious reprioritization.

    “I do not wish to argue with you, my dear Vincent,” Thomas says, voice quiet. “Your concern is kind, but— I am afraid this is only how I am.”

    Vincent squeezes his hands.

    “You are not your punishments,” Vincent tells him, firm, warm, insistent. “You are not your denial. You are not your sacrifice, Thomas, nor your hunger. You are not your starvation.” His hands shake Thomas’s, a rattle to keep his attention. “You are Thomas. You are human, and you are starving, and you should not be.”
