This whole piece was just brilliant, but the line that stood out to be all along was this:
"His name tastes sour and sweet on her tongue, and she keeps bleeding."
Which just OH LILAH.
And then, when you ended with "Let's patch you up," it felt to me, at least, like a direct callback to my favorite line and all the double and triple meanings packed into THEM. You are a genius. That is all.
