Me: Sometimes I feel like I’m poised over an abyss, like a trap door could open beneath me at any moment, that I could lose everything in an instant.
Him: You want to know why you feel that way?

Him: You feel that way because you are poised over an abyss, with a trap door beneath you that could open at any moment and you could lose everything in an instant. Do you have any more questions?
Me: No.
