| “ | Hello Earthlings! It's me, Cry Baby. I know you can't see me, but I'm still here. Wanna know a secret? This is the first step in trying to become an angel. Look into the light and repeat after me: "Our energy can't be destroyed. We find the light within our void. We've been here before, we can do it again. The evolution will never end. We are protected, we are immortal. And tonight, we step into the portal." |
