"Everything's Fine"

Mal looks around the darken alley.

Mal: I want light.

The alley lights up with spotlights.

Mal:

"Everything's fine."

 I just need to keep thinking that's true.

Everything's fine "except for me."

One day I'll look back and this will be over.

"Everything's good that you can see." That the magic is still strong. That I can still use it. They haven't taken it away...

 ..Yet...

The feeling is chilly. "Everything's cool" on the outside - my skin feels like ice. Then it's totally different. So cold "except inside" where "I feel it all burnin' me alive." The magic is cool.

The alley goes dark.

Mal:   
That's it then. It happened. "Everything's fine except for me."

They say the hurt is temporary. "I guess I'll be fine eventually." I hope so because "until then, I'll just keep lyin' to myself.”

I shouldn't have gone against the grain. Should have followed the rules. I only had magic for three weeks and it could have been permanent.

What will it take for me to believe "that everything's fine" without it?
