[Alex laughs again, but in some ways it's like an armor against her thoughts and the letters that she'd found hidden in the frame of the painting that she'd dropped at Howard's house.

I don't... I don't ever remember having an imaginary friend.

My first real memories are almost sort of waking up in my room at my parents house.
