There's potential for good there. It's not always easy to see, and you forget about it sometimes with all the hell we're put through, but it's there. The trick is seeing it in yourself, and remembering that we're often better than we think.

They don't bother to pretend they aren't monsters just under the skin. But those who do try to be better, folks like Shadow or Rey? They're worth helping; they just might not know or want to admit that they need it.]
