About This Quote

The Boy looked at him for a long time before responding. “Well, as long as you’re my friend, I’ll never ignore you,” he said with conviction. “I know what it’s like to be invisible to other people. When we first met, we had just met and we were both talking about how we didn’t want to be in that situation where no one notices us.

For me, I felt invisible when I was in school, when I was in the theater, in my own town. No one noticed me. And when I was with you guys, you made me feel seen for the first time.

That’s why I can never ignore you or walk away from you. You are my best friend, the only person who is always there for me no matter what happens.
