“Carl,” Donut said, looking up at me. “It’s okay... You’re right. It’ll work. It’s just... I hoped none of them would be on the outside.” “What do you mean?” “The scars.” I closed my eyes. “Donut, if you decide to do this, it won’t be a scar. It will be a badge of honor. You know why? Because if this works, you will always have a reminder of the day you helped save everyone. And if it doesn’t work out? Well, it’s just a tattoo. This is no scar, Donut. Not even close because it was your choice. And, you know what? You can still say no, and we’ll find another way. We’ll find another way, and nobody is going to fault you for it.”
