Two: Soul Collectors
Mistress is back. We are happy. We all love Mistress. But Mistress is not happy, not at all. Now we are sad. Mistress should be happy.
It's that nasty dog and his nasty little girl. We don't like them, not at all. We don't like anyone who makes Mistress unhappy. We give Mistress some of the glowy-balls. That should make her happy; Mistress likes glowy-balls. But she's still sad. That makes us more sad.
We don't know why anyone wouldn't like Mistress. She is very nice to us when the Big People are mean to us. They don't want us to have the glowy-balls. They are very bad people, trying to keep the glowy-balls from Mistress. We don't like them, not at all.
Mistress is always sad when she visits the dog and that girl. We have seen the girl, and we do not like her. She is a very bad copy of Mistress. The dog is stupid. They make us mad, but Mistress does not let us hurt them. She is much too charitable.
We wish Mistress would not go see those bad people who hurt her. We all love Mistress. But we cannot tell her what to do. She is Mistress. And she will always come back to us in the end.
