[shinji--moon-deactivated2017123]

You survived on nothing but verdigris and iron pills for five hundred years. You screwed your eyes shut and fell through a waterfall just to find out what was on the other side. You erased your name from the book of the dead and lived forty-nine days in a furnace full of holy fire.  But, Sun Wukong, I will bet you have never kissed your girlfriend goodbye in front of your grandma then ridden home in her SUV, listening to the soundtrack of a Chinese opera, terrified and in love.
