"It's like in the great stories... The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why."
HAHAHAH, OMG, YOU HAVE FAITH IN ME. THIS IS MAKING IT EVEN SCARIER. BUT YES, YES, I PROMISE I'LL GET THEM DONE, SOME WAY, EVEN IF THE LAST ONES WILL PROBABLY SUCK. AND I HAVE TO MANAGE UNTIL THE 20TH BECAUSE I'LL BE ON HOLIDAY FROM THE 21ST ONWARDS, WHICH MEANS EIGHT DAYS WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS AND OMG, OMG, OMG.
I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT-OTHER-THING, BECAUSE I'LL PROBABLY NEVER GET IT FINISHED AND I SUCK FOR EVEN MENTIONING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT NO, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FICATHON. THAT HAS BROKEN MY BRAIN COMPLETELY, DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER MAKE ANYTHING REMOTELY CONNECTED TO ROCHARD (OR WHATEVER THEIR PORTMANTEAU IS). THANK YOU, ROSE.
