“You are absolutely terrifying. Not because you are bad. No, no. Because you are beauty and goodness. You are love. And these humans will run from your open arms. You've got the big blue world in your tiny ass hands. And there. You. Stand. Soldier of the sky. You light up the night with your shining eyes. And when you are sad, even the devil cries. You are the lullaby. You unbreak us all.”
