That's a fair assessment. But you need more actual friends. Give me a list of people you're friendly with who aren't me.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Nannu is a wonderful friend, but he is also your pet. Or familiar, I guess.
I think maybe that can be your project from now on, Ramona. Make a friend. A proper one. And let me know how you're going or if you need help.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Ah-ah, no charm spells. Trust me, your life becomes simpler without that kind of stuff.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You need to make real friends. Not just people bewitched into gormless brown-nosers.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Sure. Make someone a mug of something to drink, something tasty, break the ice. Show off some magic tricks, impress people. No mind control, you don't need it.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?It wasn't hard to make friends with me, was it? You just gotta look for the right people.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?... I killed someone in front of you. I was angry and I wasn't thinking and I killed them in just about the nastiest way I am capable of.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?That was a living breathing person at my mercy. Life or death, I would have killed her, but with you around and with her already hurt I should have done better. Been better.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You sure know a lot for a girl who won't tell me what's going on.
...
Sorry. Look, this isn't what you should be worrying about now. Your main objective right now is to make a friend.
