"If you want a happy ending, it all depends on where you end it."
And I needed their friendship.
"That's not natural," Mr. E said.

You cannot save me with your sacrifice because it would kill me to lose you."
“I'm your guardian angel, of course. I go wherever you go."
“I’m with you more than ever now that my mind’s finally at peace.”
