Head On

"Everyone calls it something different, experiences it in their own way, but the pull, as I call it, happens to anyone who sits in this chair. The pull? This disease, it tests every part of you, mentally, physically. And at some point, you get this feeling, this... this pull. That it'd be so much easier if you'd just let go. It doesn't mean that you don't love the people in your life or that you wanna leave 'em, but... that feeling to give into the disease gets to be so strong. So this drive that your wife has, she's gonna need to use all that energy to survive."

- Peia Mannheim and Clark Kent
