train. "
"Its all right to be afraid," Shrike said. She pulled away from him. "Im afraid, too. "

"This is funny. Id planned on ditching you after Madame Cinders offered us the job. I didnt want you to get hurt. But I dont know anything about Hell and I need your help. "

"You know I have to go. "
"Youre a cute girl, Shrike. I can say that because your intestines are still on the inside. "
"I have to save my father. "

"You wont see it, I promise. I know this isnt your problem. I know you fell into this. But I need you now. "

Spyder kissed Shrike on the cheek. "Good luck, Alizarin. Come back safe.
