|At first glance, the key and the lock it fits may seem very different. Different in shape, different in function, different in design. The man who looks at them without knowledge of their true nature might think them opposites, for one is meant to open, and the other to keep closed. Yet, upon closer examination, he might see that without one, the other becomes useless. The wise man then sees that both lock and key were created for the same purpose.

For those of you who don't know, LadyLameness became a Keeper (Coppermind staff) last October, after excellent work in that previous summer on a number of articles. After she became staff, I ended up talking to her on the week of [[Skyward]]'s release to get to know her better. Then we just... never stopped talking. Never have I spoken with someone so much, and have such a [[Connection]] (capital-C, of course) so quick. Maybe we are avatars of the same [[Shard]] or something, but we definitely have the same thoughts all the time. It's weird. Like many things in our relationship, it is weird but also spectacular.{{cite}}
