1.9: Together Again
(One summer day as they walked together, Francisco decided to bring it up.)

Francisco: You have to tell me why you come to my room at night.
Reese: I can’t.
Francisco: Why not?
Reese: Because he’d be mad.
Francisco: Who?
(She says nothing and sits down, so does Francisco)

Francisco: I can feel you’re upset, please tell me what makes you feel that way.
Shanice: I can only tell you if you swear never ever ever to tell anyone.
Francisco: Okay.
Reese: I’m serious. You can’t ever ever tell. In fact, you have you have to make this promise as my blood brother.
Francisco: You mean, with real blood.
Reese: It’ll just be a little prick, but it’s the only way to make a sacred promise.
Francisco: Who says?
Reese: I don’t know, everyone.
Francisco: Okay, I’ll be your blood brother.
