[It's true to form that Beverly would make an audio post, but she definitely sounds miserable. Maybe more miserable than she has in a long time, and that's with the whole demon thing last month.]

Aaron and Eric are gone. I just came over for dinner and... 

[And they're gone.]

First Jason and now this. Why does everyone keep leaving?!

Won't know until you try.

[gristle]

Can you teach me how to make explosives?

[thegrifter]

Yeah, and from things around the house, too.

[gristle]

Cool. And you'll show me?

[Please teach her how to blow shit up, Cole.]

[thegrifter]

I'll show you something simple. You prove to me you can do it without blowing your head off, we'll see.

[gristle]

I can. I'm a badass.

[thegrifter]

I never argued that point, kid, but you don't have to. Not here.

[gristle]

Clearly you haven’t been here for the nightmares and the moss that possessed people.

[thegrifter]

Missed the moss, but I've seen some nightmares, kid. It's nothing we can't handle.

[gristle]

And I'm definitely not the fucking sort of kid who counts on adults for jack.

[She can't be, even if she trusts more here than she ever has in her life. But Derry runs too deep.]

[thegrifter]

Except where your food comes from, and the fact you had a roof over your head or pants, right?

[gristle]

The Sphere isn’t an adult. It’s the Sphere.

[thegrifter]

Yeah, that's not my point, kid. My point is you sound like you're talking about a lot more than this place.
