John was geared toward performing, yet he embraced his vulnerabilities. Cassandra was frozen in timelessness, but she dared to become alive. Emmett was ravaged by guilt and dependency, yet he chose to live his life. Jasmine struggled with self-destructiveness, yet she moved on. Philbert was forced to care for himself, and he came out from hiding. Rose persevered in her search for love to face her murderous desires. Nancy demanded repair, but she resigned herself to enjoy a quiet life.
These stories imposed themselves over a few weeks, as if they needed to be told.
