"Well, you're not exactly social, are you, Mandy Valems?"Oh yeah, sure, because I'm just surrounded by genius to be social with in this day and age, Mandy replied with razor-sharp sarcasm. "Hey, I don't need anyone else! I've got you, you're my friend, and you'll be with me forever!" 'You won't be with me forever, though' said Alecto cynically. "I'm like a spider's web; anyone who is friends with me gets dragged into my troubles and eventually dies."Poetic, dear friend, Mandy sighed, shaking her head. "Morbid, but poetic."

Yeah, I'll get right on that.''No, that would be the training where you sprint like hell whenever you hear that I'm looking for you to train."

"Adam says I isolate. He is addicted to telling me that I spend too much time in my head. It's an unhealthy behavior. Look, I don't see how not bothering other people with your screwed-up vision of the world constitutes unhealthy behavior."
