"You're honest. I value honest. ...And you're- Damaged, but perfectly capable. I don't mean that in some warped romantic way either. You suffer, but that hasn't stopped you from continuing on. ...You didn't believe me when I told you I'd been blind, but I assure you, it's true, and- I can empathise, and I respect how much you've done despite your disadvantage. ...I also remember how lonely it is, to hurt and know no one will ever completely understand your specific pain. Even when I met others who were blind, no one had become blind the way I had. People are so quick to compare themselves, but what they forget is pity and compassion don't fix anything. The only thing that helps is- Little distractions, and good company. I enjoy you, and if I can be good company as well, then that's nice too."
