okay okay okay. so i'm al falco and i'm OLD. like, shouldn't you be dead old? and i'm reading and showing pocket this book, "knowing the unknowable," and i say something like, "it's knowledge. some stuff grows more powerful when you talk about them or believe in them." and pocket is like, do we stop him by knowing him?? and i'm so old and tired i can't even with her anymore and i just cut to the chase and say, "NO, the complete OPPOSITE. we have to look AWAY." and then i convince pocket that everyone needs to forget.

also, pocket was not in party mode. she was quiet and nervous and like regretful and hopeful?

but yeah, that was mine!
