"Ashley, I love that you want to try new things, but keep me out of this," Myra declared, setting a clear boundary.

Thomas concurred, stating, "Me too," and Dylan followed suit, firmly asserting, "Count me out as well."

John, witnessing this exchange, appeared surprised. "You want me to swap your souls?" he asked, seeking confirmation. Ashley nodded enthusiastically. Glancing at Myra for approval, John received a nonchalant shrug. "Okay, why not," he agreed.

Eagerly looking forward to the experience, Ashley suggested, "Could we do it tomorrow?" Dylan, skeptical of the entire idea, glanced at Josh, who tended to go along with Ashley's requests.

"One day she's gonna get you killed," Dylan warned.
