Avery: Why are Nerissa and Poseidon sitting back to back?
Isobel: Oh, they had a fight
Avery: So why are they holding hands?
Isobel: Nerissa gets sad when they fight
Nerissa: I hate
Avery: You hate what?
Nerissa: I HATE
Avery: Is there anyone here who’s actually straight?
Nerissa: [raises hand]
Ada: [puts her hand down]
There was and still is nothing beautiful about this sadness of mine. It's horrible and ugly and I don't know why anyone has ever considered sorrow something that was worthy of being compared to the radiance of someone's happiness.
