He always wanted to know more. Everything was a mystery that had to be solved.
When Selina asked a question this time, the thirteen year old was almost shocked. He heaved a sigh when he thought of his response, an then said it aloud for her. "It's sad and bittersweet in a way, thinking about when we're grown and leaving this school and maybe, but hopefully not, each other. But it's kind of cool, and interesting, thinking of us all grown with a different look, with families of our own and children and jobs...... I hardly know what to think of it all."
Selina laughed and replied, "Right? You would think that I, of all people, would see my own future. But it's not true. I see mostly everyone else's. I mean if I see one more thing from Violet's future I swear I am going to throw up. Her kids are the most perfect little things that I can't even function."
Then he replied to her question and said, "Well then there is your answer isn't it? I mean you asked me, but you just answered your own question. It is weird for sure, seeing everyone grow up and move on with their own lives, but at the same time- seeing everyone alright and happy is a nice thing. True, not all of it is perfect... but life is flawed isn't it?"
