They thought I was weird. An attention seeker. That I cried too much, and I scared their kids when I talked about the time of day with all the blood and coffins. I was obviously messed up after seeing what I had seen.

I tried to conform to what they wanted, to deal with no one wanting me. But then I was the creepy emotionless kid who had no friends. And they still didn't like me.

That's why I went away to school. So I'd stop being a burden.

[maleficafe]

... you know you're not a burden, right?

[foolishjourney]

[hesitation—]

I was to them. Here, I...

...No. I'm not.

[maleficafe]

You're not. You never were.

[sits next to him]

You're part of a family now.

[takes a sharp breath in — that is what LiliS is to him, isn't it?]

Yeah. I am.

But... they keep taking our family away from us. Iris is gone...

[and little does he know yet, but Hellebore is, too.]

[she holds out her hand if he wants to take it]

She's still in our hearts. But I miss her, too.

[foolishjourney]

[he's gonna...]

I hope she's safe. Wherever they took her.

[maleficafe]

Me too.

[squeezes his hand]

Even if my thoughts don't reach her... I'll still pray for her.

[foolishjourney]

She was remembering so many things, awful things... I don't want her to deal with that all alone somewhere.

But I guess all we can do is hope she's safer there than she would have been here.

[maleficafe]

[nods slowly]

... I'm glad you're here with us.

[foolishjourney]

...Despite everything, I... I'm glad to be here. With all of you.

[maleficafe]

[pulls him into a hug]

You can stay with us for as long as you want. You'll always have a place here.
