Joe's heart twisted a little when he heard Gwen talk about her life meaning nothing. He understood where she was coming from. A lot of people felt that way. The Dreams had given her a purpose, a meaning. And Joe knew what it was to loose that meaning and purpose - it was akin to someone yanking the rug out from under your feet.
Joe sighed. He still rubbed the back of her head and neck, slow gentle message. "I know," he told her. "I know what that's like. But, Gwen, your life isn't nothing. Maybe the Dreams...they were meant to show you what you are capable of. You can still do good. You can still do so much good."
