“People are like this too, you know”, he says eventually. “We break. We put ourselves back together. The cracks are the best part. You don’t have to hide them.”

 A story about people broken in many different ways. People living fast-paced lives that sometimes run them over. 
Of people not being right for each other and only making each other worse. It’s sad moments and beautiful moments and sometimes strangely hopeful.
