I glance from the rope and to her, processing what she's saying. People are bad, I know that. I also know know what happens to bad people and by all normal laws, I should be dead now, locked away somewhere in Hell. I reach out, taking the rope myself, looking at the end of it in wonder. Something did happen to it, but I can't speculate too much about what it could have been. All of my theories sound far fetched.

"Important. You think I'm important?" The smallest chuckle is pulled out of me. Chandra thought I was special and I'd wanted to believe it, all the way up to the point where he betrayed me, dropped me because he thought that I was nothing, not even slightly worth his time.

Maybe it stung extra because I'd almost felt that we were family, that he was almost a father to me.

"I'm..." I shake my head. "concerned that you might be disappointed then. But you saved me, so I guess that makes you responsible for my life now. I read that... somewhere." I push my glasses up, I'm only joking. Weak joke.
