I wonder if they have had hard upbringings of if their families are saddened by the choices that they make.” Catherine Li

Edge is about bringing hope
“The people in Altea are dry spiritually,but thirsty for something more. There is a quiet discontent in them and they see that the Edgies are content. When you can talk to them there spirits seem curious as to why we are the way we are. They are drawn to us because they see we have something that they want. They are a curious and love-thirsty people. They are open.” Stephanie Davis
