Stage IV: Intimacy
Committment
Years of precognitive abilities had left Crawford with a certain disdain for the future and a particular unusual appreciation for the past. There was a unique beauty in events that had already come to pass. The future was a glittering tangle of choices and possibilities, but the past...the past was a quiet, sturdy thing, full of familiar joys and griefs. The future was uncertain, while the past was safe.
With Schuldig, Crawford saw the future stretched out before them and the past stretched out behind. With Schuldig, the future was not something to be hated or feared, but to be patiently and contentedly waited for. The past was something to be cherished. In Schuldig, Crawford had found hopes he had not known he possessed. He had found joy in the future again.
