"Not quite" Dr Ki her elbows on her knees She looked at ia, we’re here because we need your help"
I blinked at her, glancing at Gregory He had the sah bubbled up inside my chest "You need my help? I’ve been dead for the last… I’m not even sure Not to mention the part where I’h to her that I probably qualify as clinically insane What can I possibly do to help you?"
