Me: Wake up, child! I must aid your heart!
Jayel: Shut up, you ghost. Go to sleep.
Me: I said...I have to aid your heart.
Jayel: Why?
Me: Because. Just because.
She gave me a weird look.
I gave her a weirder look.
She got up from her bed and stood up.
Me: Don't take it weirdly. There are things I need to protect you from before I'm able to leave completely.
Jayel: Still...sounds weird.
Me: Oh my heavens! Just let your dead fiancé protect your soul!
Jayel: Whaa...?! That fiancé thing! Don't tease me about it.
As she kept complaining, I put a barrier around her.
There were pieces of darkness still stuck in her heart. It wouldn't get off.
Just stuck there like glue. I couldn't even do anything about it last night because it was hurting her.
I closed my eyes and focused on the darkness.
Jayel: What the heck is that?!
Finally! It's off! Now, I just need to put a stronger barrier around her heart.
Me: Yay! Now, no one can do any harm. Awesome. I'm proud of my abilities.
Jayel: Would you please explain this to me?
Me: No. You'll only be scared if you know too much.
Jayel: I won't be.
Me: You will be. It's more like I'm scared that you'll disappear.
Jayel: Huh?
Me: Whales. I was looking at a whale yesterday.
Jayel: Um...why?
Me: It looked sad. I think it's known as the loneliest creature because it can't communicate. The pitch it uses to communicate sounds weird to other whales so they ignore that whale.
Jayel: Are you okay?
Me: Am I? I don't know. I'm just talking about whales. It just looks sad, you know. But who knows, it might be not as lonely as people think.
Jayel: You're not okay. You probably need some rest. Go sleep. I'll pretend like this conversation never happened.
Me: Oh whales then...
Jayel: What's with you and whales?
Me: I'm just thinking about it so that lonely whale won't feel lonely.
Jayel: Yup. This ghost is not stable today.
Me: I know, right? My life isn't stable!!!
Jayel: Depressed ghost who actually has a life.
Me: Hey! I'm sensitive about that life subject you speak of.
Jayel: What did you mean by you being scared of me disappearing?
Me: Butterfly.
