A Hitch in the Travel Arrangements

"But I feel like I'm letting you down," Ecstasy sobbed. "It's just that Agony... well, she's my exact opposite, as far as her character goes. Where I am happy, she is sad. Her anguish is so profound that it's like a physical pain to her. And when I was close to her, when we were both being sculpted, I could feel her pain. It was terrible, and I just couldn't face it again."
