The scars were a thing of wonder, but it was also something clearly personal as well. Had they come from the circus? From the mother who had left Kurt? From the man who had considered him a freak instead of the brilliant young man he was? They were beautiful and elegant, but spoke of a great deal of sacrifice to be carved into flesh as such.
