Goran - I am doing my best to protect you—to keep you away from all of it. But I know in my bones that they'll find us. And I wonder if I've taught you enough...if I've given you the keys to get away from them...to stay safe. But, when the Game Wardens capture both of us and force you towards most-certain death just like your mother, I know it's only a matter of time.

Before they twist your mind.

And turn you against me.

And, if you hated me and lost yourself in the game, I think I might die too, daughter.

That or crack half the world open with my anguish.

Rosabella - My Dad is paranoid people are trying to find us. I'd rather be a regular teenage girl, write him off and sneak down to party with the other kids from school but... Well, maybe he's right, after all.

Because they took him.

My world takes a dangerous, grim tilt towards violence when they transport me into the game. They say they want me to create, but it seems all I am doing is killing, struggling to survive and win. Or else, my Dad dies. And I will not let the happen. ...Am I really who these Game Wardens say I am? Can I really do what they want? And why do I get the prickling suspicion that there's something Dad is hiding from me?
