   Summary

   He was sentimental, felt too much, cared far too much about others.

   Maybe he really was as useless as his father said he was.

   Vignettes from Volkner's life, jumping between the pain of his past memories and how they still ripple in the present day.

   Spiral up, then spiral down.
