"How can you be so calm right now, Cassius?" Viola whispered from beside Cassius, her tone grave. "These sudden changes have stunned the entire world silent, so how can you… how can you just stand there and smile…?"
"How can I smile, you ask?" Cassius parroted, briefly recalling all the times he had been tortured and killed. "In life, if you don't even possess the capability to smile during the worst of times, how are you ever going to surpass your limits? How are you going to be able to withstand the impact that greater disasters in the future will have on you?"
Viola was nearly awed by his philosophy, but that was when she remembered who she was talking to. "You're just spouting some random bullsh*t, aren't you?" she asked while blankly staring at his handsome side profile.
