I guess that’s the thing about a hero’s journey. You might not start out a hero, and you might not even come back that way. But you change, which is the same as everything changing. The journey changes you, whether or not you know it, and whether or not you want it to.

Exactly. They're stupid. Who cares? I care. They bother me. And that's why I'm stupid. That makes me exponentially more stupid than stupid. I'm stupid to the power of stupid. She waved her hand.

Hey, Ethan. Yeah? Remember the Twinkie on the bus? The one I gave you in second grade, the day we met? The one you found on the floor and gave me without telling me? Nice. He grinned and shot the ball. It never really fell on the floor. I made that part up.
