I don't think you inferior at all, merely different in some matters. Most of which play no role here.
I'll remember, Will. I believe you.
[It's not even a lie. He has no reason not to believe Will, despite - or maybe because of - what he's seen in his mind.]
To be honest, I keep being surprised that no one has presented my face to the world yet, but I don't want to question good luck. I will tell you if it gets to be too much.
you don't have your magic. other people don't have their old abilities. we're kind of all on equal footing. the only thing really different is our stories and what knowledge we've learned, what we've studied and collected.
[That, in Will's case, does not mean dogs. It means all those terrible little scenarios of murder and brutalization.
Believe? In Will Graham? He can't even respond to that.]
who else knows? i have no reason to. there's no point in it. besides, you look like a good chunk of people here already. sure your face has its own shape but if i were to describe you like people get described at my job, it would do nothing but narrow you down to something that fit a lot of the men here.
i know what i think now. i know who i am. i didn't for the past few months before i came here. i got treatment. i'm better. i know who and what i am and who and what i am not. that's all i need to know.
And as such I'd argue that the ones who didn't lose something they rely on to that extent are the ones superior. I had a lot to catch up on. Still have. Although at least I have one thing on almost everyone else here from my world. No future.
I know. In fact, if you just described me, chances are you'd end up looking as if you described your mirror. Let's say that was a compliment.
We do have certain things in common. I know my own mind and I know myself. Sanity is relative.
everyone has different skills. different areas of expertise. it's a matter of making connections to round out what you do and don't have so that you can adapt. i do hope you're not saying people from your world are still reminding you that you have nothing to go back to.
compliment to me, insult to you.

- what, to take the dogs or be in condition to get with you?
