"Yeah." His quiet for a minute, and then taps his bad arm. "Got this when I was a little younger then you. Car crash. Longest moment of my life. Thought for sure that was gonna be it..."

He sighs. "I made it but a lotta people don't make it. People in that house didn't make it. Can't say we'll make it either honestly but if we're both not running away then there's no need to act like cowards about it."
