"People don't like other people. You're still a person, nothing that happened to you invalidates that, no one can take that from you unless you let them in your mind and soul. But, you're not necessarily a person that others like. That's completely different. I know you hurt, and have been hurt, but that doesn't mean you should hurt others. And if you don't know that you're hurting people... Maybe that's part of the problem."

Cole shrugs a little. "But, sometimes it's easier to say 'I'm not a person', because being a person is hard. I know. I have to work at it. I'm going to go find Ben now, because I'm really uncomfortable."
