I was all “yep, yep, ok,” and then rounded a corner and saw his rock hammer. And I just stopped dead in my tracks. And stared. And soaked in that this was DARWIN’S ACTUAL ROCK HAMMER OMG. And tried to reason with myself that it was just a thing, that no thing is inherently special, but I just… couldn’t get over it. I still get a thrill thinking about it.
