Excerpt from the thoughts of Kage Kirkwood:

Sometimes, his presence has a way of making me feel really pathetic. It's really nothing he does or says that makes me feel that way... actually, he'd probably argue with me if I told him that. But once in a while, I'll start to say something, or reach over to him, and I just... don't. My tongue gets stuck to the roof of my mouth, or my hand just stops, like there's an invisible wall there. It's the difference between what's in my head and what I actually do that makes me feel pathetic. The funny thing is, nearly every time this happens, he seems to pick up on it and does whatever it was I couldn't bring myself to do. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. It makes me feel pretty ridiculous. But... I'm learning.
