“Pain changes people.” (lucy to any)
❝ PERHAPS IT DOES, ❞ carlisle mused quietly, though his gaze never wavered from the witch in front of him. and he knows that she’s not wrong, that pain changes people and it is not always for the best, like some may hope. hands fold in front of him, coming to rest on the table top as he offered her a knowing look. ❝ but it is up to us to determine how it changes us. we can let it tear us down, turn us into a shell of the people we once were, or, ❞ the doctor pause, hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth. ❝ we learn to take it in stride, rise from the pain and better ourselves, become better people for it. so, which will it be, lucy ? ❞
