Closer

"It's been 27 days since the world almost ended... 27 days since everyone on two planets nearly had their lives changed forever, and you know what? Because we all knew what we were about to lose, because we all felt that fear, something amazing happened. We decided we wanted change. We wanted to make our lives better. Improve on what already existed. And get rid of what caused us grief. But what's become clear in the last days is that all of us around the globe... we're getting closer."

- Lois Lane
