“Reki told me about this superhero he used to watch on tv. He said he scared him a little. The reason was because after each episode, he asked ‘what makes you happy?’ At first, I thought Reki was nuts. What’s so scary about that? But now, I think I kinda get it. It’s scary not to know the answer. To have nothing that makes you happy. I’ve been there, but not anymore. I know what makes me happy. I understand true joy.”
