Synopsis
| There are many ways to define our fragile existence, many ways to give it meaning. But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context: the private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light, the good with the evil, success with disappointment. This is what separates us, what makes us human. And in the end, we must fight to hold on to. |

"Well, you came to the right place. I have to warn you, though, it does get a bit old. Let me guess, you were living a perfectly ordinary life until one day you discovered you could do incredible things. Bet it was wonderful at first and thought perhaps you could save the world. And then you realized tragically that you were dangerous. And yet you talk to me after a decade, actually talk to me after three."
- - Adam
"I accidentally set my grandmother's house on fire when I was six. Caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of lithium in my arm. I've lived in this building for sixteen years, ever since the shrinks diagnosed me a sociopath with paranoid delusions. But they’re just out to get me cause I threatened to kill them. I'm twenty-four years old and I've never gone on a date. Never been on a roller-coaster. Never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don't have the luxury of being more interesting than that."
- - Elle
"We'd be like the Fantastic Four . . . minus one."

"Can I play with it?"
- - Damon
