About This Quote

When you are touched by something, you feel the tiniest tingle of recognition. You realize that you have seen or heard something before. You are surprised at the coincidence, but you know it’s true. It’s not an exact replica of what has happened to you before.

It’s different, but the feeling is the same. This is what Kenny felt when he first saw Doon. He was surprised that someone who looked so small could be so strong.

He knew Doon was different from other people he had seen, and that made him want to know who this man was.
