What we want...
[He sighs softly then goes to lay down at her side. His fingers finger her sleeve, curling in the fabric in lieu of touching her.]
I can't... have people... not the same... maybe from... a distance... if they thought... I was worth enough... to them... once they found out... If people are... going to forgive me... for being dead... they have to... really like me... and I don't know... if everyone will...
People... you... are what I want... I keep that... by giving... whatever I can... don't think... that I have less... because of that... I'm happy, Ryder.
