the two of them are fractured souls -- similar in ways that may not be obvious to the untrained eye . mary , like her namesake , has survived the ones she loved . therese , cecelia , bonnie , lux . . . all of them , gone . and now she lives on time both borrowed and unwanted . quentin holds that same aching grief within . mary senses it , finds comfort in the silence of being around someone else in this limbo : they both should be dead .
@quensmith ― " i think maybe a part of me died that day too . "
her ghostly stare seems to finally come into focus then . . . she notices him / a face amongst the fog . " i get it . " it's the first time she's used her voice all day , so it comes out as hoarse & brings cause to clear her throat . she shifts uncomfortably then , finally lifting her gaze to him . " i think . . . i think i'm dead , too . "

stranger things s4 starters
❝ how are you feeling today? ❞
❝ what have you done? ❞
❝ you speak of monsters, superheroes. that’s the stuff of myth and fairytales. ❞
❝ are you stalking me or something? ❞
❝ i know it’s a lot of blood, but you’re going to be okay. ❞
❝ it’s like you’re not even here anymore. it’s like you’re a ghost. ❞
❝ i can only help you if you’re truthful. if you open up to me. ❞
❝ it’s okay to not be okay. ❞
❝ even with it staring you in the face, you can’t admit it. can’t admit you’re wrong. ❞
❝ it’s just scary to open up like that. to say how you really feel. especially to people you care about the most. ❞
❝ i think maybe a part of me died that day too. ❞
❝ it looks like a fairytale. a dream. ❞
❝ everyone looks at me like…like i’m a monster. ❞
❝ you start to believe all the things they say. that this place is cursed. ❞
❝ do you ever feel like you’re losing your mind? ❞
❝ look, i’m just trying to turn that frown upside down. ❞
❝ this year is my year. i can feel it. ❞
❝ i’m afraid you can become lost in the darkness. ❞
❝ why do you keep pushing me away? ❞
❝ i want today to be about me and you. ❞
❝ if they wanna find out who you are, they will. ❞
❝ please, just go away. ❞
❝ only by facing all of ourselves, the good and the bad, can we become whole. ❞
❝ i play that moment back in my head all the time. ❞
❝ so much has happened since you left. ❞
❝ did i survive? no, i assure you, i am still very much in hell. ❞
❝ you are scared. you’re tired. you are injured. ❞
❝ you’re not what i thought you’d be like. ❞
❝ i just want to say thanks for saving my ass back there. ❞
❝ hey, we don’t need to do this. ❞
❝ you think because you demonstrate some talent that you’re somehow immune to the rules? ❞
❝ why is this on me? why am i the bad guy? ❞
❝ never tell me the odds. ❞
❝ i don’t even know how to describe it. i’ve never seen anything like it. ❞
❝ there’s nothing to worry about. okay? ❞
❝ sorry. didn’t mean to scare you. ❞
❝ now, where does it hurt? ❞
❝ this place and the people here are not what you think. ❞
❝ i am different. i do not belong. ❞
❝ so, um, are we just not gonna talk about it? ❞
❝ just try to take some deep breaths. ❞
❝ if i show you something, you wouldn’t tell anyone, right? ❞
❝ people just change, okay? that’s it. ❞
❝ you gotta stop pretending to be someone else. ❞
❝ i was so excited to see you, it was hard to breathe. ❞
❝ i’ll smile as i watch them die a slow, agonizing death. ❞
❝ thirty seconds or i leave without you, okay? ❞
❝ well, well. aren’t you a sight for sore eyes? ❞
❝ i…i didn’t mean to scare you. ❞
❝ looks like it’s gonna be up to us again. ❞
❝ i’m sorry. i’m having trouble understanding any of this. ❞
❝ i believe you are our best hope. our only hope. ❞
❝ you’re bright red in the face right now. ❞
❝ i think it’ll be easier if we’re a team. ❞
❝ you can’t run from me. ❞
❝ we’re running out of time here. the world is running out of time. ❞
❝ everyone i love, i hurt. ❞
❝ you don’t even seem nervous. i’m impressed. ❞
❝ what if i’m not good? what if i’m the monster? ❞
❝ do you flee or stand your ground and fight? ❞
❝ in dark days like this, we need something to believe in. ❞
❝ what you’ve been through, what you’re still going through…it’s a lot for anyone. ❞
❝ i’m not moping. ❞
❝ there’s not that many. we can take ‘em. ❞
❝ you remind me of someone. someone i used to know very well. ❞
❝ we have a big fight ahead of us. ❞
❝ so, that is it? you give up, then? ❞
❝ did you get some rest? i have a feeling you’re gonna need it. ❞
❝ it’s okay. you can admit it. no more lies. ❞
❝ sounds too good to be true, yes? ❞
❝ you’ll have to excuse the staring. you’re a bit of a celebrity. ❞
❝ do you really expect me to believe anything you have to say? ❞
❝ the way you looked at me. you…you were scared of me. ❞
❝ small world, isn’t it? it’s a small world. ❞
❝ i promise i’m gonna stop asking this, but…you’re seeing that too, right? ❞
❝ i’ve really missed that. your laugh. ❞
❝ i will do anything for you. ❞
❝ you have demons in your past. ❞
❝ you have more important things to worry about. ❞
❝ i actually thought you’d be kinda mean and scary. ❞
❝ i don’t want you to go. ❞
❝ i’ve given you everything you asked for. i’ve compromised my principles. i’ve risked my life. ❞
❝ you didn’t think it would be that easy, did you? ❞
❝ or what? are you gonna shoot me? ❞
❝ they’re laughing. at you. they think you’re weak. ❞
❝ i know. you’re frightened of me. ❞
❝ like i said…we’re alike, you and i. ❞
❝ who knew something so small could cause so much trouble? ❞
❝ you know, i think there’s a part of you, buried somewhere deep, that wanted me to die that day. ❞
❝ if you want to make it out of here alive, you must do exactly as i say. ❞
❝ i understand the stakes quite well. ❞
❝ you can’t hurt me more than they already have. ❞
❝ whatever comes out of there…hold your ground. ❞
❝ you…you’re not supposed to be here. ❞
❝ you know you can talk to me. ❞
❝ i know what it’s like to be different. ❞
❝ you helped me. now i help you. ❞
❝ i don’t believe in all that supernatural crap, all right? ❞
❝ why are you staring at me? ❞
❝ see? there’s nothing to be afraid of. ❞
❝ imagine what we could do together. ❞
❝ the more you move, the more this is gonna hurt. ❞
❝ no one ever comes out here. we’re safe. ❞
❝ i’m going to try to forget you said any of that. ❞
❝ my heart can’t take it anymore. ❞
❝ for a while i tried to be happy. normal. ❞
