As my hand moved slowly over his ruined leg, I couldn't help but wonder. "Might I ask, if this causes you so much anguish, if it causes you to do this to yourself over and over..." I paused, hands stilling for the briefest moment. "Why do you keep the leg? I've seen a man here, who's had his removed and while it is difficult he has a replacement of sorts. He can move so well as I didn't notice it at first. Does the pain mean that much to you?"
