How do you handle wanting something intensely?

You weigh what it'll cost you first.You work for it the hard way, like everyone else has to.You go after it immediately, instinct first.You take your time — you have plenty of it.

What's your actual power?

Real influence, with a real price attached.Permanence. You simply don't stop.Ferocity when it counts.Endurance nobody expected you to have.

How do you handle loss?

You understand it as the cost of the power you carry.It nearly breaks you, and somehow it doesn't.It changes you, physically, whether you like it or not.You've survived more of it than most people ever will.

What do people really want from you?

Your power, whatever the cost to you.Your attention, permanently.Your loyalty, without question.Whatever you happen to be carrying.

How do you handle real anger?

You swallow it, mostly, because someone has to stay calm.It's cold, controlled, and can last a very long time.You channel it into something deliberate.It takes over before you can stop it.

What are you afraid of, underneath it all?

Hurting someone you love when you can't control it.Losing the one relationship that's lasted.Being valuable only for what you carry, not who you are.Using your power and losing something you can't get back.

By the end, what's true about you?

You protected the people who mattered, whatever it cost.You paid the price, and you'd do it again.You're still here, after everyone else moved on.You proved that mattering was never really about power.
