ORPHEUS: It's then that I became increasingly aware of my gaze as a verb, an incisive laser, full of action and fatal potential. Perhaps she’s right, maybe I’m more comfortable having her in my phone and just that. To have an indestructible mirage of her, forever locked in one moment. Living with a ghost.
