"TINKERBELL!"

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that. Tink, what did you just do?!"

"What about that 'magic' thing you were talking about doing earlier?"

"You said you were going to 'work your magic' or something?"

"... But something happened, 'cause that test was so easy and breezy! I couldn't believe how simple it was!"

"Seriously, Tink, what did you do?"

"... But... that's it?"

"... Ohhhhh."

"I mean, it was hard to pinpoint; I just remembered everything so well, and when I was writing things out, it all just came so easily."

"That's so crazy! Why didn't you ever try using it when you were in school? Wouldn't it have helped you back then?"

"Oh, I--I'm sorry."

"Sorry if I offended you."

"... Oh, Tink..."

"Tink, that's a really harsh thing to say about yourself. I mean... we all feel like failures every day... Sometimes I spend days when I waste time instead of studying and I have no idea what I'm doing with myself."

"I don't think you should say that, Tink."

"You... You're a good person. Really."

"It's important."

"Tink..."

"Maybe I should go."

"I have to talk to you later. I'm sorry."
