[Hiding himself in pain - Road knows what he's doing, of course she does. She's there in his mind after all, she can see it all. He thinks that that pain was real, he has no idea what pain can be like, how she could make it engulf him until he'd long for that loneliness once again, until insanity would be a relief.

But she's not playing like that this time, and forces the pain to go away, making his mind tell him what she wants it to, that the still bleeding wound isn't there, had never existed. He can't hide from her that easily.]
