in the morning.

Dad told me about

what happened with Mom.

What happened when I was away?

Just a lot of the typical fighting.

And then what?

And... And then...

Mom just...

Mom kind of flipped out.

She's gonna be okay.

This happened once before.

When?

I don't know.

Um, I guess you were

too young to remember.

She was gone for, like, 10 days,

and then she came back.

That wooden box that you have,

with the horse on it?

Yeah?

She made that thing there.

At the hospital?

Mom's been sad

for a really long time.

She and Dad, they just...

they just don't get along.

Well, then they should think

about us and not themselves.

Well, they do. They just do it

in their own way.

Wow!

Whoa!

Oh, oh, oh! Oh!

Oh!

I wanna report a murder.

Sit down.

Where was this murder

committed?

San Francisco, last night.

Who was murdered?

I was.

Griz?

Griz?

Come here a sec.

Hello.

Mom?

Greta.

Where are you?

I'm here at home.

Are you okay?

Are you?

I'm okay.

You were at the hospital.

Things were hard while

you were at camp.

Why didn't anyone tell me?

I don't know.

I don't know why your

father didn't tell you.

I miss you so much.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Did you hurt yourself or anything?

No, I'm okay. I'm okay.

Are you coming out here?

You have to know how

much I love you, Greta.

Are you?

It's very complicated.

Dad?

Did you meet anyone cool at school?

Not really.

Did you meet any dorkuses?

You mean other than you?

Other than you.

Nope.

Hey, where's your meteorite?

Is this the longest

you guys have been apart?

It's just a rock, you know.

# Behind, it's alive

Its colors glow #

# The red sun

# You wear a shelter song

# Feel it coming on strong

# And I will stay close to you

# You don't show it,

but you want me to #

# We are dogs

and run in the pack #

# We shed blood

# No one

# Goes

# Home alone

# No one

# Goes

# Home alone

# Good morning

in the land of the sun #

# Remember when

your heart was young #

# Your hand is a fist

So proud of your pride #

# You can see

the dead child in anyone #

# We've been through flowers

in fertile caves #

# And the desolate

loneliness there #

# Beauty delays

# We are dogs

and run in the pack #

# We shed blood

# No one

# Goes

# Home alone

# No one

# Goes

# Home alone

# No one

# Gets

# Home alone

# No one

# Gets

# Home alone
