"Rory?"

"No, this is Darth Vader."

"You're an idiot."

"But amazing."

"Sure."

I was in the same dark room in my dreams. Rory was here. 

"What do you want?"

"Jeez, no hello for your cousin?"

"Hello."

They rolled their eyes. "I'm supposed to tell you something."

"Alright."

Rory fixed their eyes on me and cleared their throat. "There are secrets and injustices to be found here. Cruelty. Kindness. Some you can trust. Most you can't. Fix the corruption."

I sighed. "So the usual. But you really couldn't be clear for once? Just for me?"

"Okay, good luck with that. Bye."

"I love you." Their face partially cleared of annoyance. 

"Love you too. Be careful."

I smirked. "Elias said the same thing. I can take care of myself."

"Sure, but like, who saved you from that huge wave down at Labelle Beach?"

"One time, okay? I would've survived."

"Keep telling yourself that."
