Summer 02

[This time, Ellie settles on audio only. She didn't trust herself to keep her face neutral, and just-- just this once, without Joel there, and feeling more vulnerable than usual, she wanted to ask the question]

Okay, so. Besides the fucking disappearances, I've got kind of a serious question. They just had this whole holiday dedicated to ghosts and candy, right? Because when I think of ghosts, I definitely think of candy and toys or some shit.

[a pause, before she remembers the video isn't on and they can't actually see her]

And, like... I got the shit scared out of me by something before I realized it wasn't actually a ghost. I don't really believe in ghosts. Or things like heaven... and probably not god either. I mean-- fuck, it's difficult to explain.

Anyway... how many people here do?

Just curious. Because, who knows... Maybe there's a reason it's important. And there was a whole damn holiday that sure as fuck didn't come from this place, apparently.

If 'he' exists, he's kind of an asshole. I'd think it'd be better for him not to exist than to think of all the prayers he's ignored over the years.

I can understand where you're coming from. There's been a few times where I've almost lost faith, but then something comes along and for me, it's enough.

God is just someone I've always believed in and I think my life would be harder if I didn't have that belief to look to.
