It was obvious that his sister had put quite a lot of thought into the gift that she presented him with, and he would be lying if he didn’t admit that it softened his heart just a tad. He listened to the explanation that she gave him for bringing the drawing, and nodded as she finished. He wasn’t capable of echoing her sentiment yet; that was far too much emotion far too fast, but he wanted her to know that he did appreciate the gesture. Perhaps that’s why he simply responded with, “I remember making that.”

Mel wasn’t expecting much from the gesture - even his acknowledgement of the tale is pleasing. She’d been here to see Patrick every day since he’d been committed, and this was the first time she’d seen any part of his exterior begin to thaw. Maybe it isn’t much to someone who wasn’t capable of committing every detail she came across to memory, but it was everything to Melissa. She smiles. “You were very proud of it at the time. I think it’s still my favorite piece of art you’ve created - your songs are quite excellent, though.”

“You, mostly,” he answered. He kisses her temple before continuing on. “It’s about love, and I’ve never known more about love than I have when I’m with you. I mean, this moment. Look at it. It might mean nothing to the universe, but it’s the closest thing to God that I’ve got.”

“This one, right here?” She asks - was she teasing him? “Where my hair needs washing and we’re distracting ourselves from how terrible everything that’s happened to our people is?”

He extends an open hand towards her. “Go on, then.”

Mel complies, reaching into her bag to pull out the gift. “It’s not wrapped - the guards had to check it, make sure it was nothing you could harm yourself with. But... I thought you might like to have it here.” She passes him a well-worn piece of construction paper, with a crudely drawn pair of people illustrated with various colors. “You drew this for me when you found out the older kids I had classes with were making fun of me. I was eleven and you were seven, and you told me to hang it up in my locker so that I would remember, no matter what they said, that I always had a friend who loved me. That was when I knew, eidetic memory or no, you were always going to be way smarter than me.” She smiles. “I’ve kept it with me ever since, but now I think you should have it. So you know whatever goes on in your head, I am always going to be here, to love you and to be your friend.”

He sighs again, this time more in frustration than anything else, but quickly switches gears when she begs for a distraction. He slowly brushes her hair with his fingers as he speaks. “I wrote a new song yesterday.”

“Yeah?” She encourages, her eyes closing and expression softening as he works his fingers through her hair. “What’s it about?”

“Bring me what?”

“A present.”

He sighs. “Just because its not necessary for you to eat doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.”

“I’m not hungry, I’ll eat later.” Melissa leans over, resting her head on Ryan’s shoulder. “Talk to me about something. Anything that isn’t my brother.”

“Awful dumb of you to visit during dinner, then.”

“I came during dinner to make sure you ate. And to bring you something.”

“You have to eat sometime, Mel.”

“I only need around two thousand calories a day to maintain a healthy BMI. I have plenty of time to meet that quota.”

“I’m not hungry, but thank you.”

Patrick listens to what his sister has to say, and he is able to feel some kind of empathy for her, despite his own currently distressing situation. The thing was, though, that he didn’t want to feel bad for her. He wanted to just wallow in his own self pity and not worry about anyone else’s precious emotional state. “I don’t see what any of that has to do with me,” he answers, trying to dismiss her.

“What I am trying to tell you is that sometimes you don’t have a choice,” Melissa sighs, running a hand through her hair and wishing there was a way she could just snap her fingers and fix all of this. “Sometimes all you want to do is be miserable, to be finished, but you have to keep going. You have to be better, because people are counting on you. People who don’t care that there are other things you’d rather be doing. It’s not up to you.”
