Failure

“Dad, I know you’ve been depressed ever since we swapped bodies, but you’ve got to cheer up. You got the better deal here. You’re young; you’re beautiful. I’m YOU! I’m in your body with the bad heart! I should be the one who’s upset!”

“I’m not sad because I’m in your body, Angel. I am sad because you’re in mine. As your father, I tried giving you everything. Then that strange magic switched our bodies. You shouldn’t be old. You shouldn’t have a bad heart. You should be the one who’s young. You should be the one with your whole life ahead of you. I feel like a failure as a father.”
