A Mess Left By the Dead
Then, when Dominik got that terrible package, Werner was still there. Not right next door, this place was reserved for Andrzej, but close enough for the actor to reach for him. His support really mattered and was an extra help in his recovery. Dominik was not quite able to call him his friend yet, but they were well on their way to such relationships.
As it turned out, Werner wanted something more, something that Dominik couldn't give him.
Is it my fault, he wondered, if I could return his affection, would he still be alive? Or at least pretend I love him? Or pretend he has a chance with me? If I had done something different, would he be alive?
These thoughts haunted him.
Was there really nothing he could do to save this unfortunate existence?
