Sorry, this is-- hard. It's not a story that I want to really explain, either. But I'm trying to talk about it here with people, somewhere, for once, even if it's anonymous. Mostly because it seemed like others, outside the people I already know, might understand. Have been through similar.
[ The story's come out in drips and drabs in this universe, but never the whole thing. Barbara got the part about the acid attack, and almost dying in the line of duty. Ashley got the part about his exile, and how little he'd adjusted to his body even after so much time. That other anonymous commenter got the physical description of what he looked like now; Luther's disgust with it. None of them ever receive the full picture.
(And none of it is being honest and open and straightforward with his family members, the people who probably should be the ones to hear all this.) ]
