"Come as you are as you were as I want you to be."
"I'm forever a child looking out my window at the night sky
Thinking one day I'll touch the world with bare hands
Even if it burns."
"here is my hand, he said.
but that was long ago.
here is my hand that will not harm you."

It's been so long since he left me that I stopped counting the weeks. We've been living in Desiree's favorite city, New York, since we landed on Earth. Desiree took care of everything so that I could live comfortably in New York at first because I said I didn't know what to do out of excitement. We've been living here for weeks with no issues. I underestimated Desiree, but the spell she cast on me so that I wouldn't spread darkness was so effective that even my mental state was stable.
