Hey wait a minute, haven't you mentioned having a brother before? Where's he?
52 reads the question and roots around in his room. He pulls a big album out of a chest, taking it back to his computer.
Queen hops into his lap but he pats her side to let her know that maybe not. This time.
“I’m positive that I never spoke about having a brother before but. Considering the power of Anon Magic, I’m sure you guys got it out of me somehow. Without my knowledge.”
He opens up the album. “And I feel like if I decided not to answer this, you’d just, I don’t know, somehow reach into my brain and find out anyway.”
52 flips to a page and takes a moment to just look at the photo before speaking.
“Right.. I.. I uh, had 4 siblings. I have just one now, after the accident. You know her– Persephone, my twin. I.. would say I had two brothers, but I guess I never really did. So, I had one younger brother, Connor. And then.. besides Perse, two sisters. It went, from oldest to youngest, me and Perse, Eleanor, Connor and then Taylor.”
52′s voice sounded strangled when he started naming the faces in the photo. He fell silent afterwards.
There was a reason he didn’t take out this book often. Maybe it would have been better to just let the anons reach back into his mind or something.
