Soon enough those little glass arrows I've been ignoring will get past my defenses. Until now they've just picked away at the layers, but they'll eventually puncture that diaphanous membrane of mine, I know it.

Who's to say what'll happen once they're in? They could all bounce off. That would be nice. But I don't doubt their ability to splinter, pierce, and cause grievous bodily harm.

I shouldn't sell myself short either. I can be strong, I think.

I just don't know whether or not I should even try to brace myself for when my mind starts doing backflips.
