I like the idea that meanings and/or solutions can be found like that. Kind of like second-guessing what all the parts add up to. The last section is especially great. I didn't even think of that anagram. The whole thing is rather sad, from their unpleasant childhoods through to wanting an needing what they had, but can't have any more.
Ironically enough, this has made me quite happy. ^_^

This was AMAZING and all the more amazing because of the use of the prompt. Really really lovely and haunting.
Great job!

I adore the play on words that marks their passage from childhood to adulthood, most importantly to each other - it's like some very specific puzzle that only they know has bound them all this time and yet neither knew (until they met) that there was another player in the game.
I love how the words from each section reveal something to each of them. men rots...Oh, remind...o, you veil...Return...
And I just about imploded at turning What I need into He I wanted. What works in each section (and is striking in the last one) is how each creation of a new word(s) reveals the thinking process of each man. So in the last section you show Mohinder being both resistant and then understanding with resignation ( ... )
