ACT ONE | EARTHQUAKE

I didn't have a home before this. Whatever I left behind is too old to find. This is all I've ever had.

Well . . . it doesn't have to be that way. You have something now, if you want it. You have us.

I'm over being a coward. I'm sick of
being on pause, of being buried and
hidden, of being petrified, in both
senses of the word.

I don't want to imagine meadows, I
want to run through them.

—JANDY NELSON, i'll give you the sun

soundtrack | STORM'S KICK-ASS MISERY MIX!! (toby picked the name, sorry. lost a bet.)

We're hollow like the bottles that we drain.
You drape your wrists over the steering wheel, pulses can drive from here,
we might be hollow but we're brave.

When I'm gone I'm never there,
long enough to know.
