‘Well, look at us. I could have asked for the full tour – you could have shown me around all your own facts and circumstances, given me the tourist board version of yourself. A whole story that I would later have to revise or unlearn based on who you turned out to be. But if I start with what you’re actually like, pick you up where I found you, then at least I’m starting with my information. I can sketch you my own way, and then colour you in over time. And you could do the same with me.’
