[Action, forward dated to after the shadow event]

[He was in trouble. He knew it. There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't run, he couldn't hide, and he could never disobey ( Read more... )

[It took a while, longer than she'd admit, to get out of the hospital but. She called him, drawing him to a small section of Frontier that once housed her extra body.]

[He hesitated outside, but only for a moment. Unlike his shadow, Brera was not plagued by overwhelming emotion, so the fear that made him linger was not enough to keep him outside.

He opened the door and stepped in.]

[She barely notices him as he comes in.]

Brera. I suggest you get ready to beg; I'm not exactly feeling merciful.

sternefacade February 19 2011, 04:33:13 UTC

I was not expecting you to be.

[He's quiet, and back to his usual near-monotone.]

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 04:50:11 UTC

I know.

[Grace sighs, tapping the side of her head irately.]

You made things very difficult. I should have you re-assigned.

[He just stands there silently. She's going to do whatever she wants to do, and whatever he says will just be used against him. It's always better to just stay silent.]

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 05:03:27 UTC

I didn't want to do this, you know.

[She holds out her hand, she looks like she's going to snap her fingers. Damn Brera, it was too soon. This would have to suffice until she was able to do damage control. Idiot, idiot, idiot boy.]

[He silently bows his head and waits.]

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 05:23:28 UTC

[She snaps her fingers.]

So, the midnight bell tolls.

[At the sound, something inside his head shifts. He raises his head again and waits for her order.]

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 05:42:06 UTC

[She smiles, that's...not a good smile.]

You remember what you learned during that time? About your past and such?

sternefacade February 19 2011, 05:44:01 UTC

[He sees that smile, and a tiny spark of fear burns in his mind.]

Yes.

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 05:49:50 UTC

[She just smiles some more.]

That didn't happen, not the way you remember.

[He doesn't say anything. If he could, he might have found it in himself to hate the community for forcing this on him, but the thought barely even crosses his mind.]

implantsgrace February 19 2011, 06:23:05 UTC

[She tilts her head to the side slightly, moving around him in slow, easy motions. What she wants him to remember, what he needs to, that'll...be delicate work.]

Forget what you learned about your past.

[And just like that, it all slips away. His stance relaxes slightly, his face goes oddly blank, as he can no longer remember everything she had done to him in the past, who his family was, or what happened to them.

He remembers what he's done. Or what his shadow's done. Or what they both did. It's hard to say what exactly happened, especially since he's no longer aware of why he did it, only that there was some powerful emotion driving it.]
