You will never find the same person twice. Not even in the same person. Because when a human is damaged, it's permanent. It alters their brain chemistry, their behavior, their personality. You will miss people you will never find again, and you will bleed from wounds that will never truly heal,. And one day, you will sit in the darkness of your room, replaying memories, and you will realize that the person you miss is gone. You will realize that even your loved ones are nearly unrecognizable in demeanor. Because they changed too subtly to notice, or too quickly to see, or worst of all, both. And you will mourn. Your tongue will taste only ash, your eyes will burn with tears, thick and hot and heavy, and your bones will ache, creaking in silence that feels suddenly suffocating. And then, and only then, will you understand.
