Mara
Is it day now?
Chibi
Terra says yes.
Mara
But it’s dark.
Chibi
Dark doesn’t get a vote.
Mara
We learned the new game.
Chibi
The allowed one.
Mara
We breathe when the bell says breathe.
Chibi
And thank the Emperor for keeping the noise away.
Mara
The bad dreams stopped.
Chibi
So did the good ones.
Mara
Some kids get tired at the wrong time.
Chibi
Their bodies didn’t get the memo.
Mara
I miss the space after the signal.
Chibi
That space is gone.
Mara
Sometimes I still count wrong.
Chibi
Careful.
Mara
Just one beat.
Chibi
That’s how cracks start.
Mara
Is that bad?
Chibi
Depends who hears it.
