"Your pride is a part of you though, isn't it? And if it's important to you, then it's important to protect it in order to keep you well." Chloe smiled simply, arms stretching out above her again without a thought, hands trying to reach to the point that her fingers were fully extended.

"I don't really believe in wish making all that much but... It always has felt nice to do so anyway, you know? It doesn't really make me assume it'll come true...But it does make me more hopeful that it's possible. I make wishes a lot just so that I stay hopeful."

She lowered one hand, the other fully extended with her hand stretched as though she were trying to catch something. "When I was small I always thought the stars were lonely somehow, because they're so far away. We can see them, but we can't reach them... I eventually realized it was just making me lonely. I mean... If you look at them, even if they're far apart...Perhaps the way they shine brightly is a sign of happiness all their own." She laughed.

"I don't know if stars can feel happy or not. Classes always say they're just a hunk of really hot rock or something. But...It'd be nice to think that they're happy as they glow too. When I was small, I used to wonder about things like that. I also used to wonder how to know if a vampire was happy or not. But... I know one way now. If they're smiling. Unless they're really good actors...Smiling is a good way to tell if someone's happy, right?"
