I'm glad you replied! Sorry it took me a few days to see it. I can TOTALLY see you as a band T-shirt and long silver hair kinda guy :) And yes, 100% on the empathy too. Empathy and kindness go hand in hand, really. They're born of each other.
Also I feel like I might have seen a comment from you about figuring out who I am. I don't know if it was on this one or on some other story - but - either way, from what I remember (I meant to respond later) - I'm pretty sure you did figure me out. :-D I do leave some clues around so. Good job, even if I'll never admit if you're right! :)
