Summary
On the inside, Felix is a broken vase of sorrow, with painful cuts buried so deep that they barely ever stop aching, sharp crystals of hurt and suffering scattered all over his heart and soul. On the outside, however, those cracks are patched up by band-aids of art, the bruises are painted over with colorful flowers, rainbows and other bright drawings, so that the people he cares about don’t find out about this – so that Changbin doesn’t know what he has to face every single day of his existence.
So many people call hope a beautiful thing, hold on to it when all the other things fail, but Felix can’t bring himself to agree with them.
If hope is so magically beautiful, then why does it hurt so much to hope?
(Alt: Felix paints colorful flowers over each new bruise, but there's only so much pain a person can handle before they start to crumble. Luckily, Changbin learns about that before it's too late and gently pushes Felix towards the understanding that hope doesn't always have to be so ironically hopeless.)
