Quote #10

Not only had my brother disappeared, but—and bear with me here—a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from then on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared. (17.60) 

Cullen feels as though his own identity has been stripped away from him now that Gabriel is gone. The brothers share all this history, and without Gabriel around, Cullen is the only person left to tell those stories and recall those memories. What a lonely responsibility.
