“I don’t normally do that. But you saved the world.”

“I’m an empath. I … overlaid your feelings with what I wanted you to feel. I wanted you to feel better, to be happy.” Her smile went wry and sideways. “Already you’ve pushed some of it away with your surprise, but your hurting isn’t so loud now.”
