Hermana Muerte: You know when you go inside a house and they've just made French toast? It's easy to tell the smell. That smell of cinnamon... fried bread... warm milk. If you close your eyes, it's like they're on a dish in front of you. You could almost take a bite. I was a Language and Lit teacher. The French toast is a metaphor. What grade are you in?
Verónica: Ninth.
Hermana Muerte: So you know what a metaphor is, right? And you also know we aren't talking about desserts.
