“But it has to be our secret,” Sister Helley tells Kat. “That’s how I can protect you.”
“Protect me from what?” asks Kat, to which Sister Helley responds, “Your demons.”
After meeting Wendell and Wild and seemingly being put through a series of undead-laden tasks, Kat tells a classmate, “I don’t do friends.”
“Bad things happen to people I’m close to,” she continues ominously. “They die.”
