"He was the 'one foot out the door' kind of guy, he was 23, socially anxious and battled with depression from time to time. So when he got a girlfriend, he did the one thing that left him conflicted with himself; he fell in love. He thought she was pretty, smart, and the easiest person to talk to, she seemed to understand him, like really understand him. Most of all, she actually wanted to be with him! Him! Out of 7 billion people, she wanted to be with him. He made it a rule to never get fully invested in anything, but that's what he did with Emma Rodwell. He couldn't find a way to stop loving her, and he couldn't find a way to stop being the way he was(introverted and afraid to put both feet in through the door) either.

The thing about exit doors is they don't come as see-through, one is left to imagine the what-ifs. He knew he would be no exception, but he couldn't bring himself to remove either foot from either side of the door. The thing with dilemmas, is either choice feels like there's a lot to gain in making it, but that means losing a lot as well."

“He tries to find the exit from himself but there is no door.”
