You’re grown up being told to clean the food off your plate, right? Don’t be picky they say. I don’t like carrots, but now everything that I can eat tastes awesome. You’re shaking a lot. I get it. You’re scared. Because the fear you feel is different. Like big and small, men and women, young and old. What you two are afraid of is… what is different from yourselves. So if you become the same, it’s not scary. Killers, monsters, …ghouls. If you become what you’re afraid of, fear will fade. What you two are afraid of is the door of death in front of you. So I’ll have you become that. Once you’re death, death is no longer scary. You’re scared because you’re a living person. Got that?
