Dam is a prisoner of family, social conventions, and to speak, he slashes the skin. Then the blood flows, like words, and this relieves, prevents stifling, explode.

Samy is a bright boy, sweet and at the same time confident, and what he feels. He can express his feelings, his love for Dam. He was raised differently, by a loving mother. Where Damien's father sees only a "fagot Satanist", we see an amazing boy, who has an infinite capacity for love and who does not care about conventions. He and his band have no shackles, no labels, only the attention they are doing account even if they comply with the school, which brings future. Samy, the human being is free, made his choice and should express what it is.

Pages turn it devours daily Dam, one lives with his suffering, his ball in the stomach when he is with Samy, lack he feels when he is not with the boy. It's just, true, and history is very beautiful, agreed. But suffering Damien is an obstacle to the full development of their love.
