Mariam: Pinkster! You're so mean! You'll never become... Darth Vader...
Me: Darth Vader?

Me: When I think of charming black gentlemen, my first thought is definitely Darth Vader.
Pinkster, by the way, is Julien, because he's pink. I'm pink too, and so is Larissa. Mariam is white, apparently, Percy is black, and Bouyan is yellow. Halima is... dark white.
According to Mariam.

Mariam: The hypothalamus? I don't know. I don't do the brain.
Julien: I know.
Mom drove me to school today. It was a frustrating adventure.
Mariam keeps going on about Darth Vader.
