I know what it's like to be judged by others for one visible thing. It can make you cold and calloused, unwilling to let anyone in because you're afraid there's an ulterior motive. I don't want you to fall into that trap, Quasimodo; only you can define who you are, and what I see is a kind, caring gentleman who goes out of his way to help those in trouble. And I'll consider myself a good friend if I can help you see even half of that in yourself.
