61 " When he cuts a swath through the wave of monsters, that part of the dream stops. Then the sequence repeats.This is like an instructional video of the organic kind.I must have been seriously frustrated by my lack of sword-fighting skills to make all this up. My dream head hurts just thinking about it. "

62 " It takes me a while to figure out what to do. I finally decide to slice the bottom of a teddy bear and jam it onto the hilt. I’ll just have to pull off the bear if I need to use the sword.“Come on, admit it, Pooky Bear,” I say to the sword. “You love your new look. All the other swords will be jealous. "
63 " I'm gonna be sick," I said"I'm ordering you not to," says Obi."Ah, don't say that," says Dee-Dum. "She's a born rebel. She'll puke just to make a point. "
64 " It's about time you showed some sense. You should be afraid.""I'm shivering because I'm freezing.""You're cute when you're afraid."I give him a dirty look. "Yeah, you're cute when you're afraid too.""You mean I'm devastatingly handsome when I'm not afraid. Because you've never seen me afraid. "
65 " You're not Fallen are you?""From everything I've heard, that would just make me more sexy to you Daughters of Men. What is it that you all see in bad boys? "
66 " Raffe looks over at the bloody knife in my hand. "If I still had any doubts that it was you, that would do it. "
67 " I stroke his hair and repeat the words of comfort he whispered to me the last time we were together. "Shhh," I say. "I'm here. I'm right here. "
68 " This sword is not just an angel sword. She’s an archangel sword. Better than an angel sword, in case that’s not clear. She intimidates the other angel swords.”“What, the other swords quake in their scabbards when they see her? "
69 " She sees me once in a guy's arms and she has us married already. I wonder what Raffe would think of my mom being his mother-in-law. "
70 " I´m pretty sure i saw Zuckerberg digging the latrine ditch beside Raffe at the camp a few days ago. I guess a billion dollars doesn't buy much respect in the World After. "
71 " I want to see this video," I say."Seriously?" asks Tattoo. "Want popcorn too? "
72 " I must have been seriously frustrated by my lack of sword-fighting skills to make all this up. My dream head hurts just thinking about it. "
73 " I never thought about it before, but I'm proud to be human. We're ever so flawed. We're frail, confused, violent, and we struggle with so many issues. But all in all, I'm proud to be a Daughter of Man. "

74 " Oh, please. Your giant head is getting too big for this forest. Pretty soon, you're going to get stuck trying to walk between two tress. And then, I'll have to rescue you." I give him a weary look. "Again. "
75 " When you're small enough to have to look up at everyone around you, there's no such thing as a dirty fight. That's a new motto for me. I think I'll keep it. "
76 " "Was that your plan all along? Show me where to go, then convince me there's nothing I can do to save my sister?""Actually, my plan all along was to become a rockstar, travel the world collecting fan girls, and then getting really fat and spending the rest of my life playing video games while the girls kept comin', thinking I look good as I did in my music videos." He shrugs as if to say, 'who knew the world would turn out so different? "
77 " I’m revoking your warrior status,” he says as he watches Clara and her family.“I had warrior status?” “For about thirty seconds.” “What heinous crime did I commit to lose my exalted status?” “A true warrior would have retrieved her sword first before doing personal business.” “I’m all about personal business. Every battle I have is personal.” “Hmm. Good answer. Maybe you’ll eventually regain your status.” “I won’t hold my breath. "
78 " I'm Penryn. I'm named after an exit off Interstate 80.""Nice." They nod as if to say they understand what it's like to have parents like that. "
79 " He glares at me. "I've had to watch you die once, isn't that enough?""All you have to do is make sure it doesn't happen again." I give him a sunny smile. "Simple.""The only thing simple is you. Stubborn little..." His grumbles fades to a point where I can't hear them, but I suspect they're not compliments. "
80 " Why is it that everyone else can look like they’re part of a zombie hunting party, but I still have to worry about fashion?” He won’t stop snickering. “You look like a leopard-spotted Shar-Pei.”I think those are the little pug-like dogs drowning in massive folds of skin. “You’re scarring me, you know. It could haunt me for the rest of my life to be called a wrinkly little dog at the tender age of seventeen.” “Yup. A sensitive girl. That just defines you, Penryn. "
