"The pain is everywhere. You can't be moved or touched. It's very much like being on fire...
Kathy speaks for a whole contingent of Lionel when she says. "I'm going to try to finish school, which may be difficult." While speaking vaguely of perhaps switching out of her current joint major of Applied Math and Biology into straight Biology, Kathy says, "Maybe someday I'll go to med school, maybe I'll drop out of school." Jeff speaks of returning in the fall after a two-and-a-half year absence, although he is not sure what he ultimately wants to do with his life. Daniel is going to work for the City of Baltimore...
