The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.
---Henry Miller
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
---Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
---Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
---Emily Dickinson
| Zach | What would I do without your smart mouth? |
| Skylar | To make you feel my love... |
| Bit | “Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.” |
| Victor | They hide in the wind, they never leave us... ---Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes |
| Derek | A gift from Gaia. Though I wonder if it can possibly be healthy to live in such a prison of self-control and courtesy. It just makes me wonder what hell the boy's been through, that taught him to be so very polite and careful and contained... and what scars lie under the smooth surface. The last thing I want to do is cause more, but I need allies. Especially among the loup-Garou, and especially now. |
| Riley | A bright-burning kindred spirit, which is the last thing I would have expected to find in one of the Chorus... And a generous soul. Her light is sorely needed in this time and place. |
| The kid | So young, to be that scarred. I never thought I had mothering urges, but between Jack and Shadi, they're awake and alive now. If only I could keep them out of danger. But there's no sheltering a warrior, even if he's ridiculously young to be fighting this war. I just wish I could offer healing for that wounded spirit. In the meantime, I'll offer whatever I can. |
| Aster | Maybe the secret to being so happy in such a fucked-up world is... believing that it's all a game. Maybe that apartment of hers is my Second Life... I'm free of so many burdens when I'm with her. |
| Jae | What made that need? Who ignited the fire? And how can I help you to heal? |
| Graham | I guess some things can't be left behind. Not entirely. Where do we go from here? |
| Franklin | Heal me and hurt me. Except it isn't always the kind of hurt I like. When you walk away, I end up feeling more worthless than ever. |
| Kai | If we can just build a bridge over the space between... I think we could work really well together. I'm not sure what your side of a chasm is about. I know mine's about being intimidated: you're so many things I wish I could be. Tough, and resourceful, and certain... at least on the outside. Maybe some of it's a mask, because you're hard to read, on top of everything else. But I desperately want to count you as an ally and a friend. |
| Ahana | Strange to get so much out of a couple of chance encounters. I need to follow this thread and see where it goes. |
| Emma | We're more alike than you think. Which came as a bit of a shock to me. I just hope I can help. |
| Preston | I hope they haven't driven you away. You were one bright light of hope in a very, very bleak time. I need that light, and so do they... maybe even more. |
| Roland | It seems like ally might be too much to ask... I'm hoping for friend, though. |
| Arthur | Okay... It's mostly the white coat. Mostly. Some of it might be the crazy. |
| Aaron | Goddamn arrogant Hermetic asshole motherfucker. Also? On top of being Hermetic (as if that isn't enough)? A total dick. |
| Alexandra | Here be dragons. Ambition is one thing, but... I got a bad feeling about this one. |
| Shadi | I just want to know why. That's the piece I don't understand. Maybe I never will. |
| Sera | You don't deserve this. |
| Sandra | My nightmare. And not for the reasons she would think. |
| Amane | I think it's good to have her as a friend. She's... kind and generous, and beautiful... and now I'm terrified. Precisely because she is all those things, and she's just so much more together and competent than I am. |
| Hikaru | I barely had the chance to know you. |
| Rei | To be watched. An android with a soul? Not to mention the whole "kill you over nothing" deal. |
| Kaminari | I have to remember to be compassionate, to think of her as someone who's probably as damaged as the rest of us. And possibly insecure, which would explain her need to be recognized and important and in charge. |
