What rate to take a message back?

[opheliac]

I need three seashells named Shelby.

[hallowedly]

I have a Saheon, a Sharon and a Susan.

[opheliac]

No. Sharons.

[hallowedly]

I have a Silco?

[opheliac]

Stop it. Stop saying other names...

[hallowedly]

I'm sorry. Those are all the S-names I can spare here.

May I owe you?

[opheliac]

No. I just won't eat you when I turn.

[hallowedly]

Oh? Thank you. Thank you very much.

Now, what may I call you today?

[opheliac]

I'm still Jinx, silly! But when I turn into a monster, maybe all of you will give me a new name. It better be a good one!

[hallowedly]

And what monster might that be?

[opheliac]

Mm! Whatever Sleep wants me to be, I guess!!

[hallowedly]

A butterfly.

[opheliac]

I know how to make mechanical butterflies.

[hallowedly]

How delightful. I'll take a pair.

[opheliac]

What do I get out of it?

[hallowedly]

I'll forget all those S-names. How about it?

[opheliac]

That might just fly, kid! You've got yourself a deal!

[hallowedly]

Now. May I ask what has you in this state?

[opheliac]

What are you talking about?

[hallowedly]

Forgive me. I thought you seemed in a bit of a mood.

[opheliac]

Oh no, it's just I've finally decided to accept how things are.

[hallowedly]

And how are they?

[opheliac]

It's great! Everyone I love and care about are living better lives and they're happy. I'm...not a part of their lives anymore, but. That's okay.

[hallowedly]

Ah.

It's an unfortunate moment, realising we're often little more than punctuation in someone else's narrative.
