Because promises matter. They matter now more than ever.

It was the price of survival. The cost of his people's last, desperate gamble: To rid his new home of humanity, he had to become human. And being human, he had to overcome his humanity.

I don't care what the stars say about how small we are. One, even the smallest, weakest, most insignificant one, matters.

He asks me what happened to my leg. I told him I was shot by a shark. He doesn't react. Doesn't seem confused or amused or anything. Like getting shot by a shark is a perfectly natural thing in the aftermath of the arrival.

There's the bullshit you know that you know the bullshit you don't know and know you don't know and the bullshit you just think you know but really don't.
