[Whoa, we got ourselves a chatty Cathy, which is great. Awesome vocal sample here, and more than that, he's got some interesting stuff to say. Not to mention the way his voice softens with reverence, curling around the vowels, gentling consonants...his voice says quite a bit.

Matthew relaxes, just a touch, and quickens his step just enough to match Justice's stride.]

I might have to retract my earlier statement; our worlds don't sound so different after all. From the problems to the beauty, even. [He lifts his cane to gesture with the handle at the crowds parting in front of them.] I said I was used to crowds because I grew up in a city a lot like this one; even busier, often busier. Watching how people's lives overlap like this, it gives you a sense of belonging I don't think I could've found anywhere else. [There are times he's never felt more isolated too, but Justice doesn't need to know that. They're talking about beauty, after all.]
