“Sapphire is a very, very kind lady. I’ve never really had a mother figure, but I’m happy she’s filled that spot. I’m starting to realize how it’s kinda dumb I’ve attached myself to this woman I came to for a job offering so much, but she gives me a comfort I’ve never really had. I appreciate her, but I feel bad intruding on her family life sometimes.”
“Dara is a sweetheart, the kid just showed up one day! I wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s like a son to me, and this one seems like he actually wants to bond together! Hah, don’t tell Florence I said that- I think she’s a little jealous of him- teens, amirite? Anyways, he’ll come over for dinner or just to hang out, he’s welcome on holidays and whatnot, basically whenever wants, I didn’t know kids his age did that kinda thing! Usually when they get to the tweenage era is when the parental resentment starts! But in all honesty I think Dara is pretty special. He’s been facing some major adversities since he was a little one, some that I understand and others I don’t, but in my mind he’s grown resilient because of it, even if he’s still a little timid.”
“Oh Yuki… He was my old babysitter when I was like… a couple months ago. I’m twelve now! I don’t need no- Stupid babysitter! He never was good at his job either… I kinda hated him”
“He didn’t talk to me for four years- isn’t that kinda freaky? He reminded me of those weird kids from horror movies, he was always just staring.. But he’s good overall, had a panic attack when my ex tried to break in but didn’t rat so.. Weird kid though but in the nice way you know? His magic stuff is cool. He guessed my cards one night for like two hours.”
"Dawson has never felt like a dad to me- I still appreciate him and all but... I wish I could've been raised by an actual family. He's tried very hard for me though, and I don't mind living with him. I'm happy I found Sapphire and Romero- it makes me feel like I'm not missing out on a family life while still being able to keep close to Dawson."
"Dara really is a good kid. I never saw myself as a dad, and after twelve years I still feel like I was not the one for the job. Hey, Dara's still alive and he's not in jail so I'll take it that I didn't to too terribly. It was way better than what else he could've been settled in, I'm relieved I could be there for him at the right time."
“I don’t want to be rude but… Florence is kind of an asshole. I think she misunderstands me, because I have never had the intentions to steal anything from her. She’s one of those pretty popular girls that gets anything she wants, eugh especially from Romero. I wish she was nicer to me, especially because I like her boyfriend… Not in that way!”
“I hate that little twerp! Thinking he can just- BARGE INTO MY LIFE and make my parents seem him- a RANDOM STRANGER as their favourite child! I thought I’d have the luxury of being an only child all my life, but oh boy did this little shit make sure that wasn’t the case. I don’t know why mom makes me try to hang out with him! He’s a random ass kid! I don’t care if he’s struggling or whatever, he isn’t my issue! And now he’s trying to barge into my relationship with Desmond- what DOESN’T he wants from me!”
"Desmond is really cool. I'm happy Florence introduced him to me, we've really hit it off I think. I can't tell if I'm good at making friends or not, maybe Desmond totally hates me and I'm blissfully unaware. He does a lot of cool almost-teenagery stuff around town, it makes me feel like less of a loser. I sometimes feel like an idiot for dressing the way I do around him and Florence though- now that I have some friends maybe it's time I ditch this hat."
“Dara is totally my homeboy, he’s like RAD. I like kinda thought he was totally (lame) before but honestly like not even! He’s a legit magic man. I think?? But he’s sick, even if he has no soul”
