"It's been... years... I guess? But it was still vivid... as if I was still there... I can't remember how long it's been but that was the last time I ever saw Bonnet and Samuel.

I held onto Mouse as a way to keep myself from falling over in despair. The gravestones were practically next to each other in a specific order.

I never really understood why until I saw the stone..."

"I propose to my soon-to-be partner for life, Mouse..."
