Ch. Summary: What does Butters think of Harry Dresden?
BUTTTERS
I've known Harry Dresden for a few years now, and he is one of the biggest mysteries of my life, medically speaking. I may just be a 'medical examiner' – apparently 'coroner' is crude, nowadays – but I know how the human body is supposed to function. Cells make imperfect copies of themselves to replace the dead cells in our body, which is what causes us to age and our bodies to break down and die eventually, no matter how healthy you are. Harry's cells, on the other hand, make perfect copies, or close to it. He could theoretically live forever, but that doesn't seem likely.
Harry Dresden is just about the greatest man I've ever known. He chooses to fight things that I didn't even know existed until a few years ago, and has been doing it for a while. These things, these monsters, seem impossible to normal people like me, but Harry… Harry stands up to them, and he kicks their ugly asses all the way back to Monster-land. When I first learned about magic and monsters, it was because I was attacked by a crew of zombies and their necromancer Daddy. And who was there to save me? Harry Dresden. It's what he does. One day, though, I'm afraid that he'll meet one monster he just can't beat, and that will be the end of Chicago's supernatural savior. It's unlikely that Harry will live forever, because he's Harry. He couldn't let something bad just be, even if it killed him.
Harry can do things that no other person can, or at least no other person that I've ever met. He can shoot fireballs out of a stick and make an invincible shield out of thin air. He can create a T-rex out of nothing more than willpower and imagination - If there was ever a doubt in my mind about magic or the supernatural, the zombie-dinosaur incident wipes them from my mind. Honestly, he scares the fucking shit out of me. I'm normally not one to curse – I blame my mother – but that's the only way I can describe how Harry makes me feel. Seeing him in action is pretty goddamn terrifying; the few times I've gotten real glimpses of what his world is like, I've had to resist the need to pee my pants. Normal people are not equipped to deal with that sort of thing. But Harry does, almost daily.
From a purely psychological standpoint, Harry Dresden is an absolute nutcase – completely bonkers. He's been known to talk to himself, he laughs at monsters, and he's been known to do things that he knows will likely get him killed. From a purely personal standpoint, I think he's the best kind of crazy.
