Re: Pepper P/Bruce B
A long time ago, I thought there could be a cure. I would get back everything I lost if I was cured, including Betty, and maybe my life before. I allowed myself to hope, and then learned there was no cure. It was over. No hope for me or the life I dreamed of having. It was worse, you know? Losing all hope. [...] This feels like that. I was doing well again, I thought I was capable of making a better life, and it crashed and burned. And I don't think I can do it again.
