Tough Luck

Anger here sounds almost like festive fireworks – bright, loud and with pleasure from every explosion. Subtle hints are replaced by direct blows: the former ‘black cat of the neighbourhood’ is exposed, and no charm can save him now.

Instead of tears, there is sarcasm; instead of forgiveness, there is dancing on the ruins of someone else's ego. Secrets spill out as easily as swear words during a football match, and suddenly it becomes clear: it's not so much a great loss as a small victory.

In the end, all that remains is a dry ‘tough luck’ - like a sentence that is more light-hearted than painful.
