Noah was always a ghost. [ so it's a little complicated. ] But not remembering... I think that's because of what happened with Cabeswater. It's only a guess though, I didn't even think of it until recently.
It's actually mostly normal. That's the problem when the abnormal occurs then. [ she really is just from normal 2010s virginia and then things happened. ]
In a sense. But I was free from that particular fate even before I took this job. [ she doesn't sound too thrilled about that though. ]
Killing my boyfriend with my mouth wasn't an easy decision, even if he asked and knew he would die from it. Asking Cabeswater to help bring him back wasn't any easier, but we knew it would at least try to listen. But the rest is so muddled now... [ she shakes her head and exhales softly. ]
... thank you, though. For hoping for that. It's very thoughtful of you. [ and just feeds into her idea that he really is not a lost cause. ]
I don't disagree. But a lot of people wouldn't think too much about that for others. [ hence her thanks. ] ...ready to try and find our way out of here?

I hardly remember it, really. [ therein lies the problem. meet the thing she doesn't remember, named noah. ]

Squints.... Frowns. This just seems sad to be taken away for young girls who didn't allow themselves to act on love. ]
I... See. Is this the effect of whatever that keeps him here as an actual ghost? I wonder.
[ rather than his own fake ghosts ]

[ Only because he comes from a relatively normal world. ]
In the afterlife, do you feel free from your fate?

You don't sound all too happy about that.
[ why must such strange things happen to you, as if he wasn't put on the path to kill the person he loved. ]

[ 2010s virginia with a hint of supernatural, still wild ]
Still, some freedom... I hope is more than what you've had so far.

There's not much he can offer otherwise, which has him tense when she thanks him. Again... Offered very little. ]
It isn't anything... Everyone deserves to live freely.
[ She's just a girl, despite everything that happened to her. ]

But he's quiet, though there's approval that they should leave and they can finally escape. ]
