“I can’t go with you,’ he told her. ‘Whatever you have to face down there, you must face it alone.’ ‘I understand.’ And she did. It didn’t mean she wasn’t scared, but she was stronger now, altered forever by this journey. The Ceres who had first arrived would not have been capable of walking through that doorway - or more correctly, would not have believed herself capable of it, which was not the same thing. That Ceres was lost, and melancholic, but had forgotten for a while that this was the human condition: often to be lost, confused or anxious, but finally to comprehend that, at crucial instances, we will find ourselves lost precisely where we were meant to be; that there is little of use to be learned from the familiar - only from what is strange and new; and that everything worth experiencing or embracing is, because unknown, first touched by fear.”
