Yeah, I did— Agrippa’s sake, how did you know that? It was after— we can’t see— Sorry about that. Arresting your son. Erm.
Arresting — You know her? What’s your son’s name, sir?
You can say what you’d like, Eva. That’s me, I’m Mason McKinnon. Thanks for the news about my brother. I’ve — I haven’t been worried, but it’s good to know that he’s okay. I’m sorry that you’re here and that you don’t remember much. You don’t remember how it happened, do you? Have you — Did you ever meet a little girl by the name of Lizzie?
Well, I was on my own for a while there and sometimes you hear when people are talking to you. Kind of like when people pray to God, only they’re not praying to him, they’re just talking to you. It’s very faint, but you hear things and— Shafiq, right? He mentioned you died too. And that’s Sadie, Mason, Merriweather and I did not catch that handsome bloke’s name. Hayden Ward is my son, though. It’s alright. Bound to happen sooner or later. Surprised it didn’t happen while I was alive, really.
'Course. Wish I could give you more, really, but all I know is he's healthy and living. I never met a Lizzie, know. She was yours, right? I remember all of that. It was hard on your brother. I'm sorry for your loss. Does anyone ever say that here? That we're sorry for our losses? I think we hurt as much as— except it doesn't hurt much up here— we are up, right?— it doesn't. I don't know, it's— I have Marta. I have her again. Finally. And it's— I don't remember— I can't— Um. S'like— s'all really foggy. Um. Like, some of it's real and some if it isn't and I'm not— but this was real the whole time— I don't— It wasn't fighting. I wasn't fighting. I didn't fight. I didn't— I didn't fi—I let myself— oh my god. Oh my— I didn't— I— What’s wrong with me—
Don’t cry, Eva. You don’t have to cry here! Do you want a hug? I’ve missed you, you know.
Hayden Ward the alcohol bloke? I think he gave me some on the Halloween I was trapped in that fiery tent. Damn, I wonder how those flower crowns are.
