“If I were the only one who mattered, if I were free to choose, you know I would stay. Hell, I would run away with you. To the ends of the world, if you want me to. I would figure this life out with you. Gladly. A simple life with you would be enough. But, it’s not just me, Jo, do you understand? There’s Nanay and Mac and Alex. Even Papa. It’s never just me. Will never be just me. I am their ticket to a better life.’

“His doctor said it was depression. He said people with depression don't always know they have it. They just feel it. Or, rather, they stop feeling things. They could smile at you or hug you or cry at your pain, but they're not there. It's just a show of emotions that aren't there.”
