"'You can't give up. You're not in here to give up, Ry. The option doesn't exist.'""-Mary to Rylan, Bonus Chapter One of Behind the Mask."Mary is a hospital volunteer that often visited Rylan when he was recovering from his cancer surgery in the hospital when he was eight. She always insisted that he was too smart for comic books and read him classics, like Romeo and Juliet or Moby Dick. She was the start of Rylan's obsession to stories.
