The Goddess spoke to all the dead. She was beloved for it. It seemed she passed on that gift to you. Oh, it taxed her immensely, but she tried to set as many to rest as she could. Sometimes it only takes one word of kindness, you know, to set a soul at ease. ↗

Not conventionally beautiful, not celebrity beautiful, but beautiful all through. ↗

Lua and Marie are holding hands. They look like they’re so happy, just inside this moment, watching the kids and the lights on their old fibro house. Lua kisses her. Just softly on the lips.

No puedo ganar contigo. ¡Nunca hago nada bien contigo! Me dices que lo has superado… ¡Me siento malditamente miserable con esto! Tuve que romper mi teléfono en mil pedazos para evitar llamarte a cada minuto de cada maldito día. He tenido que aparentar que todo está bien en la escuela para que puedas ser feliz… y ¿estás jodidamente enojada conmigo? Me rompiste el jodido corazón. ↗
