" I could introduce myself properly, but it's not really necessary. You will know me well enough and soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables.

She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on... "
