[There is one very confused weaver waking up in a bed at 1445 Mitchell Road. The first thing she notices is, well, the sudden regain of depth perception, and the next is that she is lying next to a man. Oh gods

[It takes him a few seconds to recognize the voice. There's something a little different about it, but it's unmistakably hers, if a bit on the angry side. As it's only been a day or so since the droning of the sisters, Lucas hadn't noticed anything at all.]

W-Why are you suddenly saying this now, Margot? Is something wrong?

[resurrectinto]

Why am I suddenly..? Yeah. Yeah, something is pretty fucking wrong. I'm married. I have kids. I'M BACK HERE.

[a_gentle_boy]

You're . . . Back here? But I just talked to you three days ago. And by married -- But you're not in a wife . . . So you -- . . .

What?

[resurrectinto]

Okay. What.

That was five years ago!

[a_gentle_boy]

Five years?!

B-But it's only been a few days! I'm still thirteen and everyone else is . . . I didn't even notice you were gone . . .

[resurrectinto]

You're still..? Lucas? Why haven't you changed?

Seriously, I've been home for five years. I've been... This cannot be happening right now.

[a_gentle_boy]

If they can have two of the same person here from different times . . . I guess it's possible that they sent you home and took you again from five years later.

. . . You're really an adult now?

[resurrectinto]

I'm not even going to pretend that I begin to understand this place.

And yeah. Three years as one now. Joys of aging?

[a_gentle_boy]

I don't think I'll believe it until I actually see you. But, um . . . I guess, how have you been?

[resurrectinto]

Good, when you take the town out of the equation. What about you? Have you been holding up okay?

[a_gentle_boy]

Well. Since the last time I talked to you, I tripped and banged my knee.

. . . That's, uh. Pretty much it.

[resurrectinto]

...Um. That sucks.

[a_gentle_boy]

It's fine. I healed it.

. . . This is really weird. So you're sure you didn't have a bad dream or something? Have you talked to Nadia yet? She's still here, right?

[resurrectinto]

I don't know if she is. She had better not be, though.

...Do you want me to come over and prove to you that I'm not just dreaming or that I didn't hit my head?

[a_gentle_boy]

I-It's OK. I wouldn't mind if you came over, but I believe you. You don't sound the same . . .

I guess I should go back to calling you Miss.

[resurrectinto]

...You don't have to call me Miss. It's weird and formal.
