Heinz told Afton... everything.
And it truly was everything.
From the fragments of his first life, to the stolen memories with Florian; from the slow, unwilling realization that he was in love with him, to the bitterness that curdled into cruelty—the very same cruelty that had driven him to hurt Florian in the past.
He spoke of the two Florians: the real one he had once known and lost, and the current one whose presence still tied knots in his chest.
He spoke of dying, of waking again, and of the endless chain of events that followed.
He confessed the truth he could barely admit to himself—that he wanted to love this current Florian, yet was shackled to the shadow of the original one.
He even spoke of the impossible—his meeting with the real Florian inside that strange, fragile space of the mind.
