It's an amalgam of every instance of your own emotional pain, from the cruelty of your classmates to a parent's thoughtless words. From the failures you've endured to successes that crumbled to dust. All of it leading to that fateful moment when you were ripe for the taking; all of it leading to that fateful day and the moment you met... <<print $them2a>>.
