ok now one more time so we all get it: you don't 'qualify' to be a fox by virtue of being traumatized enough.
that's not the point and that's never been the point. the reason wymack got so much shit for the way he picks out his players is that he deliberately chooses people that everybody has already given up on. people who have given up on themselves. nobody thought dan wilds was going to make it out of her hometown. nobody thought kevin day was going to recover from his injury. nobody thought andrew minyard was anything more than a psychotic monster and nobody looked twice at junkies like matt, aaron, or seth. nobody thought allison reynolds could make a name for herself outside of her parents and nobody thought nicky hemmick would be able to look after two damaged kids and actually help them survive to college. renee walker and neil josten were hardly real people until natalie and nathaniel came to the foxes and built themselves new lives. its not about what happened to you. it's about who you're going to be and what you're going to do with your second chance. second, third, fourth, however many you need. just so long as it's one more than anyone else was willing to give you.
