You didn't see his eyes. I did, up close. It was like... like they were looking in from somewhere else. Someplace... sad. Alone. At one point, I asked him, "How do you fly?" He said, "I don't know. Even the scientists haven't figured it out. How do you walk?" I said, "I stand, and step forward on the ground." He said, "I stand, and step upward onto the air." And it was like there was this huge gulf between us, and there was no way I was ever going to completely understand him... and no way he would ever completely understand me. Us.
