I... I used to think, I might be happy living here.

I didn't have to live up to the expectations of my original... I could finally do what I wanted... I had an actual family...

... But... then, they... they came to my house, and...

[a.k.a, they burnt her house down. plus her.]

I want to go back to the academy... oh god, more than anything in the world

There is nothing wrong with crying, but please try to get a hold of yourself, Miss. No one will hurt you now.

[marie_cured]

How can you know that!

[sonic_enforcer]

Because the real danger with the suited men and Grady are gone for now; the only danger are the other people here and I will not allow anyone to hurt you.

[marie_cured]

For now... they'll be back.

[sonic_enforcer]

Most likely; however, that will be then. For now, we are fine.

[marie_cured]

[Silence, save for her sniffling.]

[sonic_enforcer]

What is your name?

[marie_cured]

...

Marie Curie.

[sonic_enforcer]

I'm Fate Harlaown. That's a very interesting name, Marie.

[marie_cured]

...

Does it sound familiar?

[sonic_enforcer]

I believe so.

[marie_cured]

She was a famous physicist.

I am her clone.

[sonic_enforcer]

Oh, that is ri--Really?

[marie_cured]

[sigh]

Yes. The academy I spoke of... it was made to house and educate clones, so we could excel past our originals. There are several of us here. Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Florence Nightingale, and others...

[sonic_enforcer]

Oh my. I hadn't expected to find so many other clones here. I thank you for telling me.

[marie_cured]

You're welcome?
