Fear

"What if something bad happens?"

"I'm not good with change. Change is bad."

"We could die up there!"

"What if Riley gets hurt? What if she gets lost?"

"I think we should just stay in bed."

"That's the first class of the year. What if we mess up?"

"We're gonna die! We're gonna die!"

"I'm afraid. All the time."

"What if nobody likes us at this new school?"

"Don't leave the house. It's dangerous out there."

"Twelve years old. That's practically grown up."

"What if she's not okay? What if we can't help her?"

"I make mistakes constantly."

"We should be prepared for the worst-case scenario."

"Everything's changing. Nothing's safe."

"What if we embarrass ourselves?"

"I worry about everything."

"There are a thousand things that could go wrong."

"Maybe it's better if we don't try."

"What if this day is a disaster?"

"I'm just trying to keep Riley safe."

"What if people think we're weird?"

"Caution is a virtue."

"What if, what if, what if?"

"I've seen the worst happen."

"Being careful keeps you alive."

"What if we fail?"

"I'm always on high alert."

"What if something goes wrong with the move?"

"There's danger everywhere."
