Whatever's preventing her from fully explaining everything isn't doing a very good job. Understanding starts to unravel as I piece things together. Whatever protection Malachi is supposed to provide me, Madeline was able to do the same thing. During the war, she must have had someone like me she worked with and protected. I'm at a bit of a loss about what ghosts had to do with the war, but I suppose maybe dead Nazis were more willing to talk than the living ones?

"Madeline, can you tell me anything about what happened to Archer?"

Only that it will happen again if you're not careful.

Not pressing her for more details is aggravating, but I know she would tell me more if she could. "I'll make sure Malachi goes back," I tell her. "We'll go together, okay?"

Madeline nods gratefully, but she doesn't slip away just yet. Instead, she gestures for me to lie down and rest, then moves closer and keeps watch over me while I try to fall asleep. For a few moments before sleep claims me, I feel like a little girl again, back when the ghosts were playmates and talking to them was okay. It takes me back to a time when I was happy and unafraid, something I haven't been for a very long time.

I'm dying here. Kyran won't talk to me. Holden told me to stay away from the girls' apartment until either he or Echo gives me the go ahead.

I know I screwed up big time. Despite what Echo wanted in that moment, I knew she was scared and wanted to take things slow.
