'You're going to hear about me. When they haul my body out of Green Lake or discover it in a Haijima dumpster, you'll hear about that kid from Ipswich. And for a moment, Kasumi Thompson will be right there in your living room as this week's overachieving uni student. The kind who was abused just one too many times for her own good. What they won't tell you, what they can't tell you, is that it wasn't always this way. I was going to live a normal life. That was my plan. And then I met him. I met Morgan and fell in love with his ocean eyes and warm body. See, that's the problem right there. They won't tell you the most important part. Their cobbled together two-minute narrative won't be about us. It'll only be about me. So before I go, I want to share our story with you. Not for free, of course. I'm telling you because I need a favour. I need you to write the following on my tombstone: 我の世は現也 Please.'
