And then Harry's like, when you come across a kid who is in trouble and they need your help, I want you to give him your help or give them your help.

And he's just like, what?

Why?

Yeah.

And he's like, because it's what a good man would do.

And it's a way to be one.

I was in a bad way.

By that I mean a spirit no longer connected to a body.

Harry knows this goddamn well, too.

They're talking about Lara.

Shut the fuck up, Harry.

Sorry to laugh anyone, but I just find the male loneliness really funny.

interesting to them yeah um this is part of what you know i've talked already about how much i like this book and how much i like ghost ghost story and they are like the ones that people have seemed to really not like and i think you know i said before that the people who like dresden that don't like those books like dresden for really different reasons than why i like it

And I think this is a good example of that.

These moments that I think are genuinely moving and important and are standouts in terms of what sets apart Dresden from a lot of paranormal fantasy is this sort of depth and these moments of humanity

a lot of writers don't bother with this stuff.

They're just trying to write a real fun action story, you know?

And this is what I think makes it special and something that feels so much more real on a lot of levels.

And yeah, if, if folks are not into that, I feel like that's probably because they just don't really understand how important this sort of thing is in life in general, which is a shame because,

Yeah.
