"Well, I gotta skedaddle. But maybe I'll cya late-"
"W-wait-!!" Lenny sputters, reaching out her hand.

"M-my name is Misery Magne. My f-father-" She twitches uncomfortably.
It's like she was reciting lines from a play and suddenly forgot them all.
"My dad is mean. I think you're one of the people he was mean to. I wanna help." She sputters out.
