Reading Sherbet Above the Sea of Fog

Chapter 31

2. Please listen. 3. My wish is... 4. What was my wish? 5. If I had any sense, wouldn't I have wished for a way off this ship? 6. So why am I still here?

1. I wished for the same thing nine times? 2. And I keep losing my memory? 3. What could I have wished for that would've cost me my memory? 4. Huh? 5. Wouldn't that mean my wish was granted? 6. Wait. 7. Is memory really something you can pay with?

1. So what was the point of anything up until now? 2. I need to treasure these wishes from now on! 3. Everything would be solved if I just asked to escape. 4. No, surely there'd be an absurd price for a wish like that? 5. Like both of my arms. Or my head... 6. Frozen for 10 minutes. 7. "GUYS." 8. "I LOVE YOU GUYS."

1. "I was a bit scared at first," 2. "But as I've gotten to spend time with all of you, I've come to realize what normal, warm, and friendly people you guys are." 3. "And I've enjoyed every day that the four of us have spent together." 4. "Oh! I meant five! I'm sorry! I always forget!" 5. "Five...?" 6. "Anyways, what I mean to say is that my newfound way of life here has truly been a joy to experience!" 7. "Gra... I mean someone once told me it takes a tremendous amount of effort to live as you always have."
