[Before Thomas, he did not think true empathy existed. That a man could put himself in the shoes of another and truly imagine, truly feel what it would be like to live his life as if it were one's own. To have all the sympathies, live with all the sins.

The fact of the matter is, few have that skill. Most people cannot imagine a thing they have not lived. So when she speaks of desperation the clearest, simplest answer is that she herself has had some cause to know its rigors.
What sympathy he had once upon a time died years ago, now. What husk has he to replace a heart? But he does understand.]
Were yours? [A faint nod. This is not a question succored by kindness.] Worth it.
