[He is absolutely silent during her story, her tale that reminds him so sharply of himself. He also has to fight to quell the anger that threatens to rise up; how dare someone do that to her, how dare they treat her like that –
But then he remembers his own story, his own childhood and he takes a good, long look at the tips of his leather boots and the cape and the polyurethane suit – and he remembers. He remembers that people don’t like different, that they looked down on ‘freaks’, on ‘outcasts’.

The only thing that brought him back to reality was the creak of leather – his hands had curled into fists at his sides. When he speaks, his voice is smooth and controlled, but filled with a thickness that is impossible for him to identify, because he is overwhelmed with emotions that he has not ever dealt with before.]
