I, uh, fail to live up to my own expectations and 10 Vigilant Gaze is on the list of characters/speeches/things I will consider when appealing to my better nature for the rest of my life. I really can't offer any higher praise.
I cannot explain how much 10 Vigilant Gaze's exhortation about kindness and then his choice has affected me. Even days later i have been thinking about Kindness.
Seems it was something I needed, and I wanted to thank you for it.
