- Did you say that the flower is Georgina?

-I need to sleep.

-What is the name of the flower ?

-I don't have to say it to you when I know that you're not interested in her.

-I am interested.

-In what?

-In the flower.

-I don't understand.

-You don't understand what?

-Why are you being interested in someone who's dead?

-Wasn't the flower gone ?

-Oh weren't we talking about Georgina ?

-What...?

-I already said it to you, I.need.to.sleep.

The guardian: time is over.

Me: ugh, I just need a little more time.

John: it is impossible because this is the "rule" of "this place".

The day after this meeting, I simply entered the room and said "hello", but then, he said:

-Unacceptable.

-What is ?

- I can't accept such rude ways to begin a conversation.

-... Then how should I do it?

-You have to knock first.

- I think that it is more unacceptable to wast our precious hour for such meaningless thinks as "manners".

- Did you know that when you're here you are in a certain way, free?

-How?

- Because I am still able to do what I want to do.

- Like ?

-Not responding to any question of yours till you recover your manners.

-So what you are saying is that you will say nothing till I go out and knock first ?

-Exactly, and till I tell you to enter.

I didn't want to argue with him, especially when I knew that I wasn't going to win this little fight so I simply got out of the room and then knocked.

-*knock knock*

-...

-*knock knock*

-What do you want ?

-To talk.

-About what ?

- About your relationship with a certain murder?

-What for ?

- To discover if you're the murderer.

-And what do you think ?

-That you're not.

-Then you have your answer, you can just go.

-I can't, I need to prove it.

-Why ?

-... Because...

-Yes ?

-Because this is the "rule" of "this world".

- You can enter.
