"The monster thatās been under her bed since she was a child and the nightmares began finally shows up and says, 'youāre right to see the world as grimly as you do. Youāre right, they are also making you into a monster, and youāre right to feel terror in the face of all the lies under your feet starting to come undone. You're right to feel a righteous fury on behalf of those Grinot children because you were a child, and no one saved you from being fed into the machine, but youāre not dead yet, and you can still save them from it. And you may be scared that you are a monster because your friends look at you different because you're not the little girl that they left in that cottage 14 years ago, but so am I, and the monsters are going to help you now. This world is a nightmare, and you are a monster, so what do you want to do?'"
