Castle személy

We’re running out of time, he said. As if time were the kind of thing you could run out of, as if it were measured into bowls that were handed to us at birth and if we ate too much or too fast or right before jumping into the water then our time would be lost, wasted, already spent.

“Looking good, bro.” Ian smiles. “Is that sweat or baby oil? You’re so shiny.”
I flip him off.
“Those purple boxers are really working for you, though,” says Lily.
“Nice choice. They suit your skin tone.”
I shoot her an incredulous look. I might not be wearing a shirt, but I’m definitely—I glance down—wearing sweatpants. My underwear is nowhere in sight. “How could you possibly know the color of my boxers?”
“Photographic memory,” she says, tapping her temple.
“Lil, that doesn’t mean you have X-ray vision.”
“You’re wearing purple underwear?” Winston’s voice—and a distinct whiff of coffee—carries down the hall. “That’s inspired.”
“All right, fuck off, all of you.”
“Hey— Whoa— I thought you weren’t allowed to use foul language.” Winston comes into view, his boots heavy on the concrete floor. He’s fighting back a laugh when he says, “I thought you and Castle had an agreement.”
“That’s not true,” I say, pointing at him. “Castle and I agreed I could say shit as much as I wanted.”

What about me?
Why don’t my feelings matter? Other people get to
experience a full range of emotions without judgment, but I
can’t be anything but happy without making most people
uncomfortable. Everyone is used to seeing me smiling, being
goofy. I’m the fun guy, the easygoing guy. I’m the one
everyone can count on for a good laugh. When I’m sad or
pissed off no one knows what to do with me.

[Castle] Megmutatja, hol vannak a pisztolytartók. Megtanít, hogyan lehet a pisztolyokat betenni, hogyan kell a tartót helyre csúsztatni, hol vannak a tartalék töltények.
Nem látom értelmét megemlíteni, hogy fogalmam sincs, hogyan kell újratölteni a fegyvert. Kenji és én nem jutottunk el odáig az oktatás során. Túlságosan el volt foglalva azzal, hogy emlékeztessen: ne hadonásszak a pisztollyal, ha kérdezek valamit.

“Castle wants me to be happy,” Kenji says. “And I won’t be happy if I stay here. I’ve got work to do. People to save. Ladies to impress. He’d respect that.”

“Can you believe he thinks I can just wake up one morning and be different? Sing happy songs and give money to the poor and beg the world to forgive me for what I’ve done? Do you think that’s possible? Do you think I can change?"

And I feel as if I’ve stepped into a strange, alternate reality, into a world where I didn’t think I’d ever belong. I could never have anticipated that somehow, somewhere along this tumultuous path— I’d acquired friends.

– A világ elpusztítása nem történhet egyik napról a másikra, és ugyanígy nem lehet ilyen rövid idő alatt megmenteni sem.

– Hogyan lehetne igazán boldog, amikor nem volt lehetősége elszámolni a múltjával? Nem nézett szembe vele, csak félretolta. Soha nem volt ideje vagy eszköze, hogy alaposan megvizsgálja. És ez a düh, ez a fajta haragvás – teszi hozzá Castle a fejét csóválva – nem tűnik el olyan egyszerűen. Labilis és kiszámíthatatlan. Higgyen nekem, fiam! Juliette dühe testet ölt majd.
