"We need to find some random facelings to leave this kid with," Remy explains.

"But she's cute!" It's true. She won't stop holding on to my leg.

"But, this is not a practical or normal thing to do when your main goal is to NOT DIE."

"BUT..." I try to think of a good argument but fail. "I'm not like the other wanderers, remember?"

They turn their head towards me. Something tells me I wasn't too convincing.  "It's not even human!"

"YOU'RE not even human!" I say with a huge grin. "Be right back. You handle the child."

I'd completely forgotten about the vending machine. I haven't had some delicious soda since I got here!

Unfortunately, upon further inspection I've realized that the machine takes money. How in the world am I supposed to have a dollar bill in the backrooms?

Luckily I have an idea! I raise my foot...

"Andi DON'T you dare!"

And kick it twice as hard as I can. A few bottles fall out.

"Want one?" I run right back over to Remy.

"Umm- no thanks."

The kid seems to want one though. She keeps jumping up and down, trying to reach one of the bottles.

"How are ya gonna drink that?" She doesn't stop pleading for it. Once I give her the bottle she starts giggling and running around me in circles. Her single brown eye clenches up in a smile.
