“She’s not who she say’s she is. When she tells you she’s a unforgiving monster, incapable of things such as love and friendship, it’s all a lie. She may believe it, but it’s not true. The truth is she is afraid. She is afraid of being hurt again, and she puts all his anger and fear and grief into her fists. She believes any problem can be solved using violence. She may act cynical and cruel, but the truth is she wants to believe the world is good. She wants to believe in me. But she can’t allow it. Because under all that muscle and fire and rage is a scared little girl.”
