Anna listened to him as he spoke. About how he was always awake now and couldn't sleep, very much unlike their hopes of it being a long peaceful sleep where nothing and no one could bother them. There had been times indeed where she thought about killing herself, in attempt to reach what she thought was a good long sleep, but she never did. She had always been so reluctant too because she didn't want to leave James behind all by himself. And now James was dead. The irony of it was something that hurt. But, at least he was here with her for now. Neither of them were alone just yet. They still had each other for the time being, and she hoped that it stayed that way for a long time.

When he pulled back, she was confused at his, having thought that he couldn't even touch her. Yet here he was touching her. She blinked in surprise and looked down at her arms to see the blood was gone and grew even more bewildered at this. She looked back at him. He had something to do with this. There was some connection between him and blood. If she had to make a guess, she would have to say somehow her blood(or any blood could for all she knew) had made him able to touch and feel. She looked between him and her arm for a moment before she turned and crawled out of the bed.

Moving toward her bag she picked it up and walked back to the bed, pouring its constants onto the comforter. Among the every day things was a small pocket knife. James had given it to her a few years ago after finding out she walked home from school(and after finding out how crazy her mother was). She picked up the knife and flipped it open, speaking as she drew a slightly deep cut into her arm next to the other now clean scratches, watching as blood oozed out from the fresh gash, "James, I think I know how to fix your 'ghostly' problem. I think...I think blood makes it so you can touch things." She set the knife down and held out her bleeding arm to him, "We won't know if its true until we test that theory." When he seemed hesitant she sighed, looking at him, "If you don't then I've cut myself for no reason James."
