Oh my! The death spiral of a once-great relationship is so well captured here. It hurts. Poor Paul.
This kind of strikes a nerve for me. I've had a relationship like that in the past. I was the shredder of pictures and memories -- and the keeper of hope. I feel for Paul here because deep down there is that tiny glimmer of hope with which he tortures himself, whether he's conscious of it or not.
It seems at the end, he chooses to embrace the past, which is the only way he's going to go forward. I hope he goes forward and maybe calls Teemu, though that's probably the last thing he needs.
Very emotionally wrenching. I liked this very much. Thank you for your indulgence of my request! Now, MORE! ;-)
