Emotive telepathy makes her very prone to talk about your feelings.
This girl is far too willing to hear a boy going on and on about a damn.

Prays exclusively to Árgon. Enjoys long bike rides by the river. His bike's for sale real cheap right now, you should give him some money.

Put his money where his mouth was and risked his life for political influence.

Those intrusive thoughts surely don't sound like they're yours. They could just be a weird side-effect of all the things you went through. Oh and maybe you're in love too but just don't want to admit it.

Maybe God told her to stay behind, maybe They meant something else. Either way, the future doesn't seem safe.

Hey buddy, remember that one time me and my classmate Manel went to the woods to figure out what the devil was happening after a star fell off the sky and Manel was like "Wack, these guys didn't even bring an Augur, let's just go home" and I was like "Buddy, I trust you because you're my classmate and we're childhood friends and this mission sucks anyway".
