It's good that not all of Greta's life is known. I guess people only know as much about her life as they know about most characters in stories. Not much about the childhood... but maybe a lot about her romance.

Hopefully her romantic life isn't too juicy. I don't know who would read or watch anything about my life with Louis and the boys. We're so boring and normal.

But then she tells me that she doesn't make it. That the people who know her life story know how it ends. And that's when I stop in the middle of my tea prep and walk over to her, reaching to give her a hug.

She's not the first person I know who has died in their home world, but this — this must be the worst way to find out.

"Breathe, breathe," I murmur softly. "It's okay to cry. That must have been such a shock."

Already, I'm judging the person who told her all of this. Why did Greta need to know that she dies? What kind of naive person revealed that to her?
