- Athena Grant: [voice over] Yeah, people can be awful, selfish, and cruel, caring only about themselves and what they want and need, never thinking about who they hurt or what kind of damage they might leave in their wake. But not everyone is awful. There're some good ones out there too, the kind who want to do the right thing. But you'll ever know which kind of person someone is unless you give them a chance to show you. Maybe they'll surprise you in the best way. Our lives are shaped not just by our experiences but by relationships: who we love, who loves us, and the stronger those ties are, the less awful everything else seems.
