2.0

 Two young guys, they're a couple, but one is secretly prostituting himself. He's our main character and we go back through his life and the events that have brought him to the place he's at currently. 

There's a lot about chosen family, art, life choices (are they really choices if you have no other choice?) but overall this one wasn't enjoyable for me, unfortunately. 

Still, the beauty of a collection like this is that they're so short that you can give them a go yourself and see if you feel any differently.
