I stay where I am for a moment, hand exactly where it was, Valkyrie's head on my shoulder, scanning the ceiling for hints. It provides none, so I tighten my hold on her back and hook a leg over hers, tangling them enough to get leverage to flip us over so I'm on top of her, looking down at her face, surrounded by a veil of my hair.

"...don't," I say, and I'm not even sure what I mean by that. Don't, because I feel like it's a trick. I'm not real, how could you ever?
