To be honest...I hated it at first. I felt clumsy and weak and wrong. It took a great deal of time to adjust. And even then there were some things that worried me for so long...

[Like the ocean, or large fires, or human intimacy.]

It's what many of us do. There are so many of us from worlds worse than this, from lives that were...lacking.

It was once proposed to me that we're here because of that. To be given the lives we were denied in our own worlds, to have those things that were taken from us. Or...as close as can be offered, anyway.
