"You missed so many hints about me."

“There are so many things Blair doesn’t get about me, so many things she ultimately overlooked, and things she would never know, and there would always be a distance between us because there were too many shadows everywhere. Had she ever made promises to a faithless reflection in the mirror? Had she ever cried because she hated someone so much? Had she ever craved betrayal to the point where she pushed the crudest fantasies into reality, coming up with sequences that only she and nobody else could read, moving the game as you play it? Could she locate the moment she went dead inside? Does she remember the year it took to become that way? The fades, the dissolves, the rewritten scenes, all the things you wipe away- I now want to explain these things to her but I know I never will, the most important one being: I never liked anyone and I’m afraid of people.”
