What!? What planet are you from? I would've guessed that you were, nnnh, fourteen years or so? No less than twelve, for sure.

Anyway, that's what makes it weird. It's not typical to make friends who are so far outside of your age group. And of course you need a reason! There needs to be a reason for everything.

It's just unthinkable that someone-- a child, especially- would want to befriend me all of a sudden. I'm supposed to be a monster! A devil!
