I like Raven, as much as I know of him. Maybe it’s partially because I don’t know much about him that I think he’s so interesting – I can talk to him without having Five Facts About Raven thrown into my head. And there’s this feeling that he’s older than I am, which is... comforting. I don’t know how it could be possible, but it’s an impression I get. Like he knows answers that I don’t. And maybe he won’t tell me the answers, but it’s reassuring as hell to believe that somebody knows them. Even if it isn’t true.
And I guess there’s one other thing. I think it’s just his habit of answering questions with questions, but it reminds me – just a tiny bit, you understand - of somebody else. Only... less intimidating.
Yeah, he was big on choices. I do know that they’re necessary, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. Sometimes I wish I had a choice and I don’t. But when I can make up my own mind, that’s even worse. The consequences of my wrong decisions are pretty extreme... and I remember what it was like when I didn’t know there were such things as grey areas. It was so easy. I just wonder how Raven deals with it.
