“No!”

Clay blocked and nearly tackled him, wrapping Calidi in his arms and holding him so he couldn’t move.

“You can’t. I can’t let you do this. You wanna know why? Because there are people who care about you. There are people absolutely enamoured by you and your personality because those are unique to you. It doesn’t matter what body you’re in or if you feel like it doesn’t belong to you. I mean....I wouldn’t necessarily call my body mine either. But what you look like and where you came from don’t matter. It’s who you are now that counts,” He was tearing up. “And you don’t know what that other guy would’ve thought. For all you know, he’d be happy that someone like you had a chance at life. You’re making your own decisions and your own memories now. That makes you just as real as everyone else,” He sniffed. “I’m not letting you go until you realise that.”
