CH 66 - New Phone, Who Dis? (season 4 premiere)
And now we catch up with Meike and a curious caller...
Autumn had always been Meike’s favorite time of year. The summer heat and humidity didn’t suit their temperament, but winter was far too cold and bitter—a step up from the unbearable heat, and they could skate by in their favorite coat—leaving spring and autumn. Spring was just okay, a relief from the frigidity, but a prelude to the hell to come.
Autumn, on the other hand, was like a soothing balm over inflamed skin, ushering in comfortable clothes that hid away their imperfections from the sun and scrutinizing gaze of their family and peers. One could get away with wearing jeans and slacks, but long sleeves were too stifling and curious.
No, the cooler months allowed them to shine! Halloween, pumpkin patches, hale rides, and colorful costumes! Meike was still a kid at heart, and while they weren’t the biggest horror fan, loved cozying up to an old favorite with a bag of assorted candy and popcorn. It was a shame they couldn’t do the same in Glasend.
Unlike Anniken—although perhaps things were different, now that she’d patched things up with Laken—Meike had fully embraced their new reality. If they truly were dead, as the theory went, then why wallow in the past? Why fixate on what could or should be?
Why not wipe the slate clean and begin anew?
