The protagonist and his partner have a complicated relationship. They have a lot of pride and ego, and often fight. They both know how to hurt each other, but they can't seem to stay away from each other either. They play with fire and fight with knives, causing a lot of pain, but they also feel a deep connection. They wonder if they are better off apart, but they can't bring themselves to end things.
