Chase has been attempting to watch TV.

It's such a bizarrely normal thing to do that he hasn't actually done it in a really long time. But now that he's been trying to feel things again, to get his life back to something that actually is normal rather than just vaguely resembling normal, he's trying to find pleasure in boring, everyday things ( Read more... )
