But in the end, I'm there for all of them.”

I even knew their names. Everything's wonderful and normal and fine. And then I wake up, and I'm still me. And I'm still here. And that is truly terrible.”
“For some folks death is release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them.”
