"That sounds wrong for some reason."
"Exactly! What if- what if- I mean-"
"Please sleep."

"Austin, THERE'S A COCKROACH CRAWLING ON MY BOX."
"Good. Tell him all your problems instead of bothering me."
"Bobby, Austin's being mean."
"Did you just name it Bobby?"
"Yeah? Do you have a better name to suggest?"
"How about Chris B. Quiet."

He was bringing a butterfly into his realm of chaos and violence.
If anything happens to her, I'm never forgiving myself.
