You will sit with her for as long as she likes, and you will not tell her stories about being exploded out of a tree or having your organs harvested. You will never do this to her again.” He stops suddenly, turns to face me. “Do you understand me? You will never, ever do something this stupid again or I swear to you, James, you will live to regret it.”
