"If things would have been reversed and you had been the one stuck in Darrow after I had vanished, you'd be sure, too." Instead, he got to go back home, to his friends and family.

"When you left I spent months regretting the time I wasted being pissed off at you. Not that you didn't deserve it." It's so disgustingly cliche that I almost hate admitting it, but tomorrow is never guaranteed.

"I fucked up. I'd like to think I learned from it."
