gretel needs her big brother hansel (004)
[Private to Troy]
HANSEL
CATRINA HAS A COMPENDIUM. She's a Tale and...
We're Tales and I'm going home tomorrow and how am I going to face Matt? I can't tell him about this! Her! Any of it! God, how did you keep this a secret for so long? Why couldn't he have been a Tale, too? Why does she have to be? I don't know how I'm going to do this, Troy. I really don't.
I love being a Tale, but I don't... I hate having this huge secret that I can't ever share with them. You'll always be my brother, because we'll always be Hansel and Gretel even when we aren't related by blood, because we'll pretty much always reincarnate, as long as our story is around, but everyone else we care about who isn't a Tale... they're just going to die. No coming back. How are we supposed to live with that?
I'm sorry. I don't know why I brought all this up. I just...
need you to tell me it will be alright.
