"Honestly........I don't know anymore."
"How? It's simple."
"No.....It's...no.
It's far from that.
It's clear you guys need all the help you can get, but from me or Henry here, you don't need it.
You need someone softer that can ease you in, but......"
"But?
You're still worried for us?
Ruby, this is the first time you have gone a few days…."
"A week."
"A week without hearing voices in your head.
That must feel great, right?"
"......It's the worst."
"Cause you never felt it before...…or that you knew you could, but you never wanted to?"
*Hmmmmmmm...….Phuuuuuuuuu*
Can we talk about something else, please?"
"Sure thing.
What do you want to talk about?"
"You all seem busy redecorating the inside of this School, but what about the outside?"
"Outside?
Don't the woods look just the same as everyone...else.......es?
Oh boy. I feel like I just stepped on toes."
"Madison, no two snowflakes are the same. Neither is a drop of rain, or even a blade of grass, so to shall this School be different then the rest.
I was thinking fields of flowers in the back. Poppies, daisies, Springhills, and..…."
"What about the Kids playground?"
"In the front then.
We can do two huge rows. One huge plot on the left, and another on the right; then have a windy path going through the middle, leading up to the front door."
"That all sounds very interesting, but you know what could make this go by even faster?"
"I know what you're talking about, and no.
I thought you just now wanted me to retire."
"Well. I'm just saying...…Only you can use it, and it would go a lot faster.
Both outside and in."
"I do agree, but it stays with...…where even is it?"
"I don't know. I thought that since you are connected with everything, you should be connected to it."
"Yeah, when I am wearing it."
"You......didn't put a tracker on it, possibly?"
"Why would I?
I never had it outside of my body before."
"Just checking.
I'm sure we can think of something."
