His expression... softened, slightly. He sighed. "It's bullshit. Everybody says that 'kindness' is a virtue, and they think of themselves as 'good people'. And every single one of them except a rare fucking few are liars."
It was a lesson he'd learned early, unfortunately. Nobody ever cared. Not enough to do anything about it. "... 'It can't be helped'. I got so... fucking sick of hearing that. Every time I ever complained about anything. Any time I needed something other than the bare goddamn minimum. Any time I asked my god damn social worker for help or needed to change- 'It can't be helped'. Nothing to be done. Fucking liars. They just didn't want to. Because that would be a change to their oh-so-precious routine."
Like it would've killed them to offer an eight-year-old whose mother had just died the slightest fucking ounce of empathy.
