Um... Cobray? I was wondering if you still have any of that stuff that makes people big again? I think I'd like to be my normal size now, please

It sounds like the deities are trying to cow us all into paying their debts for them--and they haven't got the right to do that. Don't worry too much about this business about dues, Colette, all right?

I- It's hard not to Evey. I don't like the thought of anything happening to the people back home because of someone else's mistake... Even if a lie, it's hard not to think that it might be true too.

...I understand. I don't want anything to happen to my home, either. It's a horrible choice they've offered--let them destroy my world or kill someone I love dearly--and I don't want to have to make it. And no one else should be forced to choose, for that matter.

I just--I don't want to see you hurt unnecessarily, Colette. There's got to be something we can do before these nine days they've given us are up.

I hope there is something I can do. I hope that someone finds an answer that stops anyone from having to think things that are so cruel. I'll pray that there's an answer to all this that won't end with anyone having to actually choose.

But that's all I can do besides worry. I-I don't know what else to think.

If your choices are between worrying and hoping, I think hoping is definitely the better choice.

...I shouldn't ask this of you, but Colette--don't do anything until the ninth day, all right? We've got over a week to find another solution, and the deities' plan doesn't seem that popular with the creatures collecting dues...

I am. I'm hoping and praying and I'm... I'm trying not to worry too much.

I won't. If I do anything, I want to make sure I think things through. And Evey? Can I ask you to promise me that you'll do the same? Because I-I don't ... wouldn't like it if anything happend to you either.

That's good. And if you do start to worry, you can always do something else--watch the telly, read a book. Distract yourself, you know.

I'm glad to hear it. And yes, I promise that I won't do anything rash. I--well. I think that V would be furious if I even considered it.

Oh! I could do that! That sounds like it would really help. Thank you Evey.

I'm glad to hear that too. Both things.
