-- better half, 'cos he thinks I quit." I had quit. But stuff happens.

Hey Diaz.

I taste terrible.

Please, kid. You need this, and maybe then you will look fit to join the rest of the world, instead of lurking in the shadows.

Everything has to eat, Kid. You think you're going to upset the balance, but you're part of that balance.

If you're that worried, we can both go for a swim, when it's dark. There's no tourists.

You can't hurt anybody, kid. I know you.

I get it. You're haunted too. Still see a cloud of smoke, suffocating you. See that wreck of a car, all around you. I get it.

You would be so happy in the ocean. It's so big, and it gets you clean.

You need the water, kid. I get that it's scary. It seems like a change, but it's not. It's still you. Your grandpappy explained it better. I kept the letters. You should come in, and I'll find them for you.

You can't help everyone, kid. And you look more haunted than me. You reek of smoke. Your hair's all matted.

Is that why you took off? Did my... did my ghosts scare you away?
