Summary
There wasn’t anything left of him to break. Matt was shattered over his desk, whole body burning with bruises, wondering if this was it. If his mind was finally giving in, if he’d find himself trapped in hospital within the next week, if there even would be another week to live. The world had ended, really, and any chance Matt had of living the life he’d crafted for himself was over.

Summary
Most of the time, Matthew was fine. He was a lawyer by day, he gave his hardest in the firm. He never missed a day at work, he wouldn't stand for letting Foggy and Karen down once again.
Most of the time, he was fine. He was a vigilante by night, he didn't stay out as much as he used too, as a promise he kept to his two friends. He saved people, he put others in jail, he tried to keep peace as much as he could in his little corner of the world.
Most days, Matthew was fine. He could ignore the white static buzzing through his head, the lack of appetite, the heaviness setting in his bones.
And then, there were days he couldn’t.Series

Summary
The carousel song echoes in his head in a loop. Some days, it’s joined by Russo’s screams of pain and anguish as he destroyed his face against broken mirror. Other, it’s his babies screams of fright as the bullets ripped through their bodies. And most often then not, it’s joined by their laughter, stuck in time. Forever there, in that one moment.
Other days, it’s just Frank, alone in the bloodbath. The screams and the laughter gone. Those are the days he wonders back to the park, to the carousel where it all ended and sits there until dawn. Until everything inside is wrung out and empty.
Somehow, Red keeps finding him on those days.Series
