"Does it get better , really? Does the pain ever go away?"

"Pain is a virus. You fight it with everything you have until it subsides. It gets better, yes. But I'd be lying if I said it goes away completely. It may rest dormant for days, weeks, even years, but then something triggers it. A smell, a sound, the smallest recollection. And there you are again, infected."
