But you’re the judge. Can’t you use your power to work around that?

You just have to impress me like the gentleman you are. We don't tell the secrets around here.

Thank you… Can we talk about something else? I need to get my mind off of everything…

Okay, sure.. Look, I can see that you're one girl that cares about fashion, right? So I brought some magazines with me, because I need someone to help me with finding the perfect dress for my uncle's wedding. I haven't seen many of them in a while, so I want to impress them. Are you the right person to ask?

No, I know, but I guess it's a first thing for everything.. And honestly, he didn't deserve it. No one deserves to die like that. I think there's no explaination on why and how he was the one.

I know there’s nothing else for me to do. And besides, it’s not like they’re letting me leave this room anytime soon.

Well, I'm here now. I mean, I just don't know why I came here, but if you need, I can talk with you. We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to either.

Well it’s not like there’s nothing else for me to do.

You don't think it is?

It’s fine. He was the best guy. He was sweet and caring and incredibly kind and he didn’t deserve it at all. Life isn’t fair.

He was, from all I knew of him, he was truly that. And no, life isn't fair, it never have been or will never be. But no matter what happens, I want you to know, that I'm here if you need it.

Whatever. You can go now.

You think it's going to be better to shut it all in yourself and be all alone?

I talked to him. I talked to him the day before the mission and I wasn’t the kindest person. God, you never know when a moment with someone could be the last.

I were drinking with him the last night.. But Thalia, I'm pretty sure he knew that you cared for him, even though you said stuff to him.

Don’t look at me.

I'm sorry, I've just heard what happened.. 

It’s… it’s complicated. Like, he dated my friend and then they broke up and I was supposed to hate him but never did and then I dated his best friend and we got closer and then we broke up and I tried to stay away from him… anyway, he was a good guy. He was a great guy and he didn’t deseve to die.

Everything seems complicated, doesn't it? Yeah.. He was a great guy. Gosh, I can't believe his.. dead and I actually just went through the weekend like nothing's happend with anyone at all.

There has been no official announcement but the word has been all over the older levels. It’s only logical you didn’t know if you didn’t speak to anyone.

Well, then.. I'm sorry? Did you know him well?

I just can’t believe he’s actually gone. It doesn’t make sense.

I feel like an ass now, you're Levi's sister, right? I'm so sorry, I didn't know. And honestly, no. It doesn't make sense, it's not supposed to make any sense. But he didn't deserve it, okay? He was a good guy.

That’s all you have to say?

What do you want me to say? I don't know what to say, or do, because I just got to hear this.. Two days after it happened. I'm kind of lost out of it.

People don’t make mistakes when it comes to dead persons. He’s really gone.

Well.. I guess that explains why he didn't show up for practice then..

Really? Because this pit in my stomach feels pretty permanent. He was my only friend. He was the only one who I even talked to at this godforsaken school.

Listen, I don't really know you, I've just seen you in the corridors and stuff, but I know how it feels. It seems impossible to live without that person, and you feel empty inside, but I'm telling you the truth. I'm a living proof. It sucks but I know.

Levi. Levi Hudson. He was a known face around the school.

Levi? No. I'm pretty sure it's not him, are you sure? People can make mistakes often.
