The next day, Sadessa, as per usual, was woken up by May. "Hey, can I talk to you?" May asked, sitting on the cot beside Sadessa, who was yawning deeply.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Wonka told me everything." May kept her eyes to the floor, furrowing her brows tight. "Why, Dess? Why did you want to kill yourself? How selfish can you-gah damn.."

Sadessa's face paled as all color left it. She felt sick inside, she wasn't intending on May knowing any of this. She had all night to think about it and she felt stupid. She was an idiot for wanting to do that.

"H-he.. mentioned something about you breaking down. And, I am sorry for enabling your memories. I knew from the get-go that you needed some stability, Dess. Those memories you conjured up was your stability. I just couldn't bear to tell you they were all fake."

"What was I, May? When I came into the factory, what was I?" Sadessa looked over at May with pain in her eyes, again she looked so lost and it broke Maybelynne's heart to see her best friend like that.

"You were fresh from a mental asylum. You didn't speak, you were violent and one time it got to the point where you were so disfunctional I fed you, kept you clean. I.. don't know why Kordata decided to keep you, but the more he experimented on you, the more and more insane you became. Nobody knew your history, but from the files Kordata found it sounded like you were severely abused by both parents and the staff from the mental hospital itself. One day.. It was like some miracle and you began to speak. The first thing you said to me was "Spearmint" and then gave me your first smile." May smiled through her tears.

"So that's why I call you Spearmint!" Sadessa said with surprise.

"I grew so close to you, even through your blabbered profanities and violent outbursts and weird perversions. I grew to want to protect you, you gave me a purpose in that fucking hopeless factory! You were my reason to go on.. You and Lizzy and Calvin. But you especially.. you stuck with me, and we made it through hell with each other."

Sadessa smiled, her own tears escaping her grasp and flowing shamelessly down her cheeks.

"I can see that as the years go by you are becoming more and more sane and I can imagine how hard it is to start all over again." May sat straight, looking her friend deep in the eyes. "If you want to know who you are, here is who you fucking are. You are Sadessa Rae Dawn. You are my best friend, my partner in crime, my rock, the shoulder I cry on when I need it." May took her hand and held it tight. "You are clever, full of surprises and damn talented at freaking me out. You are fun, you are witty, you are a bag of sassy shit sometimes." just then, they both laughed through their tears. "Sadessa, you are funny, you are kind and you bring life to any situation. You're fucking weird in a good way, and no you are not a burden. You're important... and I can't imagine life without you. I love you, you weird piece of shit. So much..I just hope you come to me next time, okay?"
