Why did you revive me? Alecto repeated. Well uh, well. Mandy hesitated, her voice full of sudden misery. They say there are five stages of grief, you know five stages. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Not in any particular order. Anyhow, I denied your death, I was angry about it, I bargained with Mearth to try and get her to un-bury your site and I was depressed about the whole ordeal. One thing I just froze up on though was acceptance. I just couldnt accept your death. It was really cruel the way you died, and I missed you so much Mearth, my parents, the cops, Dr. Pottie, they all thought I was crazy. When people think youre crazy, that label automatically dehumanizes you, because people can use it to discredit everything you say with, oh, pay no mind to her, shes just this crazy lunatic with a dead imaginary friend. I just wanted to do something, anything to make it all go away, and I decided that I wanted to revive you.
