“You probably think I should have moved on by now. Maybe I should have. But don’t they say that the things that happen to us in the years when our brains are still developing become part of us forever? You happened to me. I grew around you. Then you left. You uprooted yourself, and now the place you grew out is just barren.”

“but Caspien wasn’t like any child I knew. He didn’t speak like one or act like one, and when I was around him I found myself drunk on his worldliness. Intoxicated by the things he might be able to show me or teach me that no one else could.”
