[Badou's body, Badou's touch, is defunct and defect; he can only touch in ways that carry pain, rough brotherly elbows and hands, dogs fightingplaying in the dirt, and gentlesilent Nill is not eligible for these activities (she's been handled roughly in ways Badou knows have nothing, nothing to do with actual human contact)]
[they've been cannibalized by the city in different ways, and sometimes their ragged edges don't match; Badou mangles words and cannot bear to be touched, Nill speaks with her hands and cannot bear to speak]
[talk to me, but how?]
Did'ja ever wanna hurt the people that -- did that to you.
