[Diarmuid nods and sits back so he can look Waver in the face again.]

I know that is true. I just...I can't make myself believe it. Someone told me that people get into ruts and it is very hard to break them when they need to change their ways of acting or thinking. I am trying to break out of my ruts, but it's so hard and every time I think I'm getting somewhere it seems like I end up right back where I began.

[He shuts his eyes and sighs.]

I am human. That is all I need to be. If I could just break the rut that makes me think otherwise I think I would be taking a huge step forward.
