I want to help you get what you do want, which I believe is something better than being alone in the woods. Surviving isn’t living. As I said I have been in such a position before. I would prefer to talk further with you, calmly, as we are doing now. You can talk at me if you prefer; I don’t have to talk anymore as I expect you’re already tired of my voice.”
