Pain has but one acquaintance
And that is death-
Each one unto the other
Society enough.
Pain is the junior party
By just a second's right-
Death tenderly assists him
And then absconds from sight.
--emily dickinson, 1049
This pic reminds me, somewhat disturbingly, of FAKE; their expressions
remind me a lot of Ryo and Dee in a pounce moment. His Highness is
enjoying this way too much, and poor Gonou doesn't know what-all's going
on. This is not how death was supposed to go.
Anyway, if anyone was ever in any doubt that Chin Iisou is a very sick
puppy, this shot should clear it right up. Death didn't twist him; he
was born that way.
