Very lonely. You know, they
think there’s a cure for that.
Loneliness. And then they
say we’re not the healthy
ones. I like the word better
instead of healthy, don’t you?
Oh…  Wow. You probably
don’t even care. I’m sorry.❞

_{He was far more of a loner than people would have liked to imagine; and that wasn’t necessarily to say that Seth Clearwater was an introvert. Not by any means. But there were times–however–where he preferred his solace, his solitude, and his peace. He is the most gregarious and socially interactive loner you might ever meet. The thing is, he is fascinated by people’s stories and he harbors a very inquisitive nature–he is talkative and he cannot ever say ’ no ’ to anything or anyone, thus resulting in giving away too much of his time to the many people he adored.}
