I don't know why she does things this way. It's hard to talk to her about this kind of stuff. She doesn't think of things the same way as we do. Probably because she's semi-immortal or something.

I know it's wrong to pretend you don't know someone could get stuck here. But if you break the rules you could get really hurt, or worse. I don't want anything like that to happen to you. The carnival isn't the worst place to spend a year either, is it?
