  48. 48.
     
  49. 49.
    >’Wow, you actually believe that? What kind of pony would be your friend? You’ve always been awkward, don’t you remember how the other foals ignored you?’

  54. 54.
    “No, please stop this!”
  55. 55.

  76. 76.
    >A small thought pulls its way through.
  77. 77.
    >Don’t do this.
  78. 78.
