[ The video feed picks up Stiles' bedroom at the youth center, his cluttered desk covered in a cheap second hand laptop and books upon books, messy and scrawled on pages everywhere. But that's not what it focuses on - instead the feed wavers and picks up the mass of wiring on his desk. It's roughly heart shaped and big, wires that circle in on each other like a maze and pulse light every beat.

The device gets put down so that the arm not covered in a cast can reach out and prod the thing. The reaction is instantaneous, it flairs and Stiles' faint protest of pain comes through as he lifts his hand away quickly, shakes the shock out of his fingers. His computer chair creaks as he takes a seat, angling the device to take in his face.

I'm sure there's a metaphor in here somewhere but I'm not looking for it. Anyone else I don't know about stuck with the physical representation of how much life just sucks?

I don't know about that. Broken's broken, whoever does the breaking.

Kind of. I mean, mine's not like yours at all. Just a sec--

[She darts offscreen and then returns with what appears to be a heart-shaped pillow. It's sewn together with a variety of different fabrics and stitches and looks like it may have seen better days.]

It's like arts and crafts time at a kindergarten.

[Thank you, Stiles. She wouldn't have a decent answer, anyway.]

But it's interesting, isn't it? I mean, I'm sure it all means something important.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Unless you're being literal, and if you are, I'm all for you not electrocuting yourself with your heart.
anunluckypenny: [please give me a chance to catch my breath] (Thank you)

Except we both pretty much know what happens when hands and electricity get together.
