  "Paul-Bruce you've been laying in your bed under the covers like a baked potato all day. What happened?"

  "This is what you do when you've just gone through a traumatic experience."

  "And what's that?"

  "My favorite character died."

  "Oh my god. I'm so sorry, I had no idea."

  "It was so unexpected too. I feel like the author ripped out my heart and crushed it in her hand right in front of my face. Sadistic bitch."

  "We should burn the book and pretend it never happened. Plus we could could get a couple marshmallows, make ourselves some smores. Burning things and eating marshmallows always gets me through tough times." 

  "We can't burn a book! That's a sin. Plus I thought you were afraid of fires."

  "Yeah, indoors. That's a hazard. Lighting fires in nature is totally safe." 

  "Well that's...completely inaccurate." 

  "Ok if you don't want to do that I have other ideas on how we could destroy the book. Origami cranes. There's a legend I think where if you make like a thousand you win a special prize or something? Also we could eat marshmallows. It has nothing to do with the origami process but I just really want to include that in our plan." 

  "No-"

  "Ok fine no marshmallows then."

  "No I mean I can't under good conscious destroy the book and even if we did, I can't unread what happened." 

  "Alright then. I'll give you space to grieve."

  "Wait..."

  "Hm?"

  "Maybe some marshmallows wouldn't be the worst thing in the world."

  "I'll bring my emergency stash."
