Meeting Shou
11. You Believed Then

You believed in the world, when we first met. When I told you I didn't because I barely knew the world, barely knew humans. And you told me all the amazing things humans did – and the most amazing of them all was their ability to hang on to hope no matter what they were faced with.

You told me all the horrible things they've done as well – but always looked at the silver lining of it all.

But maybe it was because you were young. Those bad things were far away and the good close. But whichever way, you believed.
