The Upside Down (For Eluuna)

"I don't know. You always seem pretty sad."

"You just said you were 'okay'. Not that you're not sad."

 

"Hm. I'm going to figure you out, Zad," she said decisively. "Does anyone come here with the ability to read minds?"

 

“You’re lying. You must be.”

 

“Then what’s even the point of being dead?”

 

“I’m about to throw a tantrum.”

 

“No you didn’t.”
