Chapter 56
- "It was really stupid of me, but I had to borrow some money from a loan shark for all the dates and presents. I wanted to show you how important you are to me. He found me this morning and beat me up because I couldn't pay him back. I was supposed to have time to make the money, but he came early, and he wanted way more than I could possibly pay back. He said that he would kill me the next time he saw me. The only choice I have is to leave town so that he doesn't find me. Maybe I can get a job in some other town until I can pay him back, but he'll most likely kill me for running, even if I return."
- "You ... you did all that for me?"
- "Of course, because you're the most important thing in the world to me and I wanted to make you smile. Unfortunately, it seems that's not enough in this world."
