[ looonggg shaky breath. finally: ]

Has anyone seen my brother lately?

[ there's a hiss of breath here. almost dangerous-sounding ]

You must be infinitely happy, love.

[swealwe]

[ noise. like someone's hurting. ]

I'm glad you're happy.

[onesoulintwo]

Your brother? That would be Kiric, right?

He's taken a position outside of the asylum, so he's no longer on our security staff. I'm sure he'll get back in contact with you once you've recovered and been released, though.

[swealwe]

. . .

[ long pause. ]

You're lying.

[onesoulintwo]

No, I'm not.

Kiric resigned from security here a while back. I assumed he'd mentioned it to you before he left, but...

[A little pause, intentionally awkward]

Like I said, he'll be waiting for you when your time here is over.

[swealwe]

[ another pause and her voice is even firmer now. more decided ]

You're lying. My brother would never resign from something and he would never wait for me.

[has read that brothers and sisters are very important to one another. so he thinks he understands - it's how much he cares about his friend, x9001. right? right!]

Did you lose him??

[swealwe]

[ a kiiddd. bawww ]

I-I did.

[mayolixir]

I'm sure he is okay!

So please don't be sad!!

[swealwe]

You're right. My brother is probably fine. So I won't be sad. [ liar liar ]
