““Cale and I aren't all that different… His paralysis is physical. Mine is emotional. And actually, it's not always about losing anything. Sometimes, everything looks like it's still in working order. All the parts are still there. They appear normal. Perfectly normal. But you just can't move them. No matter how desperately you try.””
