“Name one hero who was happy."
"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward.
"I can't."
"I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret."

"Why me?"
"Because you're the reason. Swear it."
"I swear it”

“He doesn’t know how to be angry with me, either. We are like damp wood that won’t light.”
