"Think of what is and don't let what might have been distract you."
"If he ever wanted vengeance on me for all I did, he has it now. This is the worst thing he could do to me. Now I know how it feels to be left behind. As I left him."
"And the world re-ordered itself around me. I spoke each word carefully. 'You are so stupid."
