"Seeing people who are already dead is boring," Trinket said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I want to watch someone die."
She pointed towards the departing healer. "Let's follow her. She might be going to a hospital. There might be someone there who is almost dying. Then we can wait there and watch them die."
She was curious what it would be like to see death. To look into someone's eyes in the moment they took their final breath. To see how they reacted to the final, most interesting moment of their lives.
Very curious.
"Let's go," she said, starting off down the street towards the healer. She dragged her doll along behind her. A few drops of blood dripped from the doll's face and dotted the ground. Trinket didn't look back to see if Sah would follow, but the doll's black eyes turned towards him. One eye stared through a drying bloodstain that marred the porcelain face, tainting the eye red. One black eye and one blood red watched the man, waiting. Waiting silently.
