"Twenty years... That ended up being two thirds of my living life. I don't think I missed a lot going to the other side in my early thirties, but it's a lot of time to become a new person, for good and for bad."
It's always love that makes people learn more about anything. Mantis can think of a few couples who blended entirely different worlds and lives back home. The strongest ones always started with the greatest differences.
"Keeping up a measure of hope isn't easy, but it's possible. When you give up on hope that something is going to go right, it's one less bit of force moving in the right direction. Then again, expecting the worse makes the victories a pleasant surprise."
"Thomas..." Mantis still remembers that man's face. He carries battle scars of all kinds. "I have to admit, as far as options go, going out like a bomb or ending up saving everything is a best-case scenario. It'll be a hell of a show no matter what happens."
