What the first song sounded like. How it felt to see the first photograph. Who kissed the first kiss, and if it was any good.
Isaac Marion
You might say that death has relaxed me.
Isaac Marion
Can we really choose anything?' 'Maybe. If we want to bad enough.
Isaac Marion
I notice faint scars on her wrists and forearms, thin lines too symmetrical to be accidents.

Isaac Marion
What happened? How did I get here? How could I have known that my choices mattered?
Isaac Marion
Of course, if I eat all of him, if I spare his brain, he'll rise up and follow me back to the airport, and that might make feel better. I'll introduce him to everyone, and maybe we'll stand around and groan for a while. It's hard to say what 'friends' are any more, but that might be close.
