This is so beautiful: "So please listen to me - there is no such thing as human debris". it's a plea never to give up other people, however nasty or "broken" they must seem. Often we treat people as if they were "debris"; things like Capital Punishment to get them out of the place instead of dealing with the deeper rooted issues of poverty and education.
Does anyone else get the impression that the boy has raped the girl: "he only wanted a friend - now he's made something else" - something else = a child? The undertones do suggest rape, but it could easily be teenage sex leading to teenage parenthood, causing their lives to be "broken"?
@NeuroticSurgeon I don't think it's rape. I think it's two teenagers having a child. He runs off because he's too young to be a father, not because he's raped her.
