> What is pain? Beyond the realm of physicality, what is it? Surely much more than just synapses firing, for pain can also be felt in the soul. A soul is a pitiful and defenceless thing. How the hell can one protect what he can't comprehend? It just is, and it will tell you when it's in pain. The pain felt in the soul is so much harder to suppress. It pokes and twists and rots. Most succumb to it; others feel it not, for the soul is subjective. Its weakness and strength change with the person, the personality, and so much more. What is the shape of my soul, then? Well, whatever it is, it isn't this, because it fucking hurts. <
