1.   We share a part of our very selves.

2.   By reaching for each other, we are fighting back, for our very selves.

3.   If your very self had vanished?

4.   It is her very self, her lifeline, her support system.

5.   The questions are relentless, designed, it would seem, to make even the most confident doubt their memories, their beliefs, their very selves.

6.   Kam mines for material from her very self in order to do this.
