"I have a comment! Grandma doesn't like me and she lives in a stupid place that doesn't have any good books and only has stupid squirrels that throw nuts at people."

"Comment is noted and appreciated. I'm gonna go call my parents anyway."

She goes into the other room and does that. She is immediately very miserable and keeps making lots of sentences that sound like apologies even when they're technically not.

Zana flops back in exaggerated defeat. "This SUCKS."

He is trying to make sure he remembers in his head how to get to the church.

"I'm sorry. Hopefully it won't be for very long."

"If you and Auntie Karen get killed it'll be FOREVER. And now you won't have anybody else to teach you how to do things."

"It won't be that long. I miss having you to teach me to do things though."

"Maybe if Auntie Karen dies we can run away to live in the forest in an abandoned boxcar."

"I don't think forests really have abandoned boxcars. Also they don't protect you from vampires."

"We could just live in a house."

"I don't think you can just find a house somewhere and live in it. Maybe if it was abandoned. Or maybe we can come get you and you can make a house for us if you don't get sent home and you don't die."

"Yeah that's what I meant is I could build one. If I don't die or if I get back sooner than Karen."

"If you get back sooner?"

"I think usually kids get back faster if they die although right now I might need a lot of healing I guess."

"Get back to where?"

"Their families?"

"You get to see your family again once your family dies. And I'm not gonna die just 'cause you did."

"I mean after Mandos makes me not dead again, Zana."

"What's Mandos?? If you die you just stay dead mostly. Unless you're Jesus."

"Mandos is the Vala who gives the dead new bodies."

"I don't think we have that? Maybe at like the end of the world or something."

"Wait, then do your dead just hang around without bodies? That sounds really boring."

"They go to heaven? Or hell, I guess."

"What're those?"

"Heaven's where God lives and good people go and hell is where demons come from and bad people go."

"I don't think God lives in a particular place. - also it is very bad if people are going to the place where Melkor is because he will torture them horribly."
