[/quote] Meanwhile, each of us are showing her a very different take on what being human is. I mean, Alex shows her this raw cynicism coupled with an intrinsic and obvious fear of death and the belief that anyone can be good if they choose to be and the past means nothing compared to the present, Andrea shows her this caring side of the human condition with the underlying knowledge of her impending death, Swarm shows her a sped up version of growing up in a harsh world and developing self confidence in the process, Ian shows her how difficult it really is to walk a path of righteousness while being the outwardly most damned of us all, and Malcolm shows her how easily humans can withdraw into the cold, hard lizard brain logic as well as just how much we can take and still come back to the light side of the fence. Mostly though, I think Riley thinks we're all petty, surface-focused assholes who could be a lot more happy if we would just get over our egos and let each other in. Also, shark bug.

Just sayin'.
