88

A voice whispers close by.

"Hello, Rezo and Emma."

You turn to see Cassie standing next to a coffin. She wears the same polka dot dress from the playground back when you were looking for Emma in the city. Her hair is golden and curly, hanging over her small shoulders. She smiles and looks up at you with liquid green eyes.

She steps forward and pauses a few feet from where you stand. Looking up at you, she appears so small and timid. Her eyes draw you in, vast and shimmering like calm, ocean waters.

"Don't be scared of me."
