Confusion filled me. “The what?”
“The scarecrow. He won’t have anything new to say that she hasn’t already told you.”
“Perhaps, I can find out something more.”
Lunita shook her head. “Dumb.”
“You all are stuck in this building and cannot even see the beautiful view out here.” I gestured to all of the sparkling buildings around us. “I think that this place and that darkness that only you see. . .it was just supposed to be temporary to protect you.”
“You don’t know anything.”
“I know that my mouse wants healing, and you would just rather remain shackled to the past, to old wounds, to this roof.”
Lunita inched back as if I had tried to slap her.
I remained where I was, so I wouldn’t make her nervous anymore. “Come with us, Lunita. Help me get some new answers.”
“There are none.” To my surprise, she turned her gaze onto the cityscape. Her lips parted slightly and suddenly there was a silence that made me shift uncomfortably. “You. . .”
I eyed her. “Yes?”
She whispered, “You really see all those cities out there? Right now?”
“Yes.” I gestured to Pavel. “He sees it too.”
Pavel sighed. “I do.”
Lunita blinked at us. “Are there demons there too?”
“Demons?” I shook my head. “No. I do not see demons.”
Lunita processed this for a moment before looking down at her bare feet. “Do you think I will see it all one day?”
“Yes.”
She put her view back on me. “Don’t let her get rid of me.”
“I will not let that happen. . .”
If I can.
She sighed. “I love her. Tell her that.”
“I will tell my mouse. However. . .” My heart ached. “I think that she is slowly learning to love you too all by herself.”
Lunita widened those eyes. “She is?”
“I believe so.”
Pavel jumped into the conversation. “We should go.”
Lunita gave him an odd look. “Maybe, he is the tin man, since the little girl never wants me to call her the tin man.”
Pavel widened his eyes. “I have no idea what you are saying.”
I gritted my teeth. “Lunita?”
She remained motionless, lost in thought, her eyes fixated on something only she could see.
