“They’re not, that’s who! Noone is going to believe THAT”—he swung his arms for emphasis—“is real!”

“They’re not going for real, darling. Besides, they can’t. They don’t have the capabilities.”

“But it’s a mockery of my reality, my art, my livelihood!”

“It’s a haunted corn maze, darling. That’s all. Just a bit of fun.”

Harry huffed.
