Question 23

Answer 23

I never said I did. But I know what it’s like to be me! To never have a family or a place to call home. You have that, at least. You have something here… with each other. Something I never had with anyone… until Lank-

Question 24

chelle: you aint got that with lank

Answer 24

You don’t know what I have with him.

Question 25

chelle: a ground with a lot of dividing lines. we on one side and you on the other

Answer 25

And what about when the lines are blurred? When you feel something that can't be cut up or divided? When you know you belong somewhere even if people tell you you're not allowed? That's where we meet, Lank and me. Somewhere outside of all the zones and restrictions. Some place where we're not stuck. Maybe that's a place you refuse to go, but that's where someone like Lank and someone like me are exactly the same. And if you don't want to see that, maybe you're the one with the blind spot!

Question 26

bunny: some pop machines... you be real comfortable...

Answer 26

Sounds like it'll be a fine place to wait. Please at least... tell Lank for me. Just tell him...
