Chapter 35 - A mockingbird's challenge

Beam went to her room to see her cousin's ghost sitting on her bed again crying in guilt for what she thought had happened. She walked towards it and sat down next to it, hoping that maybe he could help somehow.

Beam ask "You did something don't you?"," she said quietly as she continued to cry. "Why do I feel guilty after doing this? I'm in the right position, don't I? I asked her peacefully but she chooses to die! How am I going to get-"Beam cuts her off. "Hey! Hey! Hey! We can still investigate! It must be her karma and it's not your fault!"

Ploy looked up from its tears and sniffled asking her cousin.

"Do you find me wise yet?" beam answered "Yes!"

"Do you find me honorable yet?" beam answered "Of course!"

"Do you find me honest yet? "beam answered "Umm... yes?" ploy said.

"Well, I guess because I'm a dominant compulsive liar and a manipulator in the past" ploy sniffled and said. "Until now I feel like everything I say is not true anymore even if I am already honest "beam replied.

"I believe you! Don't say that!" ploy sobbed.

"Believing in someone like me is the equivalent of being ignorant!" beam replied to motivate ploy.

"Ploy! don't say that! You told me don't say something I haven't confirmed yet! you're just being sarcastic! I know I did what I was supposed to do! let me help you again! And promise you'll tell me the truth, be honest to yourself and never gaslight yourself!" ploy sobbed.

"Fine I'll try! I'll be honest with you from now on and to myself! Promise!" Beam cried back, hugging ploy and burying her face in his shoulder even if she looked like hugging the wind.

Ploy smiled through his tears and nodded.

"What should we do first?" ploy sobbed wiping his eyes. Beam said.

"Now I know why you're still in my room at night, you're still feeling guilty…full of contemplation and accomplishments that haven't been done. And dreams that are still unfinished." Ploy sighed and nodded.

'How did you know?" beam replied.

"Because I'm not letting you go while I'm at ease" ploy asks

"Now, what shall we do next?" beam exclaimed.

"MY LINE IS NOT FINISHED YET" ploy replied.

"I'm the main character here stupid!"
