20"AND WHAT IF THE PAGES RUN OUT?"
21.
21"IT'S FRUSTRATING!"
3"The main thing is that it makes you happy."
22"I wanted to ask, how much time would it take? The helping out."
4"I had a brain tumor when I was 13."
23"There are some things that are better not forced."
5"It’s not really muteness. The problem is in my head."
24"So I wouldn't regret later that I didn't even try."
6"The tumor was in a really bad place, and there was a lot of radiation and surgery."
25"It's not nonsense, Essie! The doctor strictly told me not to force it. Everything has its own time. For now, my brain has to get used to it, slowly."
7"They say it might give me back the ability to speak."
26"We can't control our fate, but we have the power to influence another's."
8"The main thing is that I have to slow down. The doctor said to have as little stimulus as possible. To rest."
27"A little."
9"When I look at you, I so badly want to talk to you."
28"That's okay. I like your laugh."
10"26."
29"Did you know you've barely spoken to me for two days?"
11"It's very good!"
30"I had to realize not everyone knows Morse code."
12"Grandma told me in time. I only brought warm clothes :)"
31"A glass wall I couldn't get around."
13"So, how much of a man am I? :D"
32"Don't worry, I won't hit on you."
14"Nothing is good enough for you?"
33"Only if the doctor lets me."
15"1. Organ and singing = headache. 2. I'm not in the mood, I don't know anyone. 3. Nice dress, it suits you! ;)"
34"Thank you."
16"You smell good."
35"The pages have run out. We both know what we want to deny. We know what we don't want. And we know it would only cause problems if we can't understand each other, despite everything, right?"
17"I'm sure you are. Sweet."
36"I would have liked you to come with me. There were so many things I would have liked to show you. And maybe, if you saw the university, you would get a taste for continuing your studies. I would have liked to never have to write on the last page, because that's always at the end of something. At this moment, at the end of something that didn't even happen. The most beautiful dream, Essie... Your laughter. The way you so dedicatedly check and re-check that sapphire dress, which will never be ready for you. But think that with the idea you would have used to make that sapphire dress better, you can make other dresses perfect. And this is true for almost everything, when a person is never satisfied with something. —We didn't burp feathers. :D. I'm sorry that as much as we are opposites, the only thing we have in common now is that we're both impatient. Me too, because I'd like to talk to you so you'd understand, and you too... because you'd like me to talk. But it can't happen right now... Maybe it never will..."
18"I have some bad news."
