Percy: “Ugh. Editing these is a pain in the-”
Persica: “Percy.”
Percy: “Oh! Hey, Rosie-poesy, I didn’t hear you come in. How are you holding up?”
Persica: “Fine. You don’t need to be here for me, Percy.”
Percy: “Of course I do! I don’t mind, honest.”
Persica: “You’re allowed to move on, too. You’re allowed a life. I can take care of myself, Percy.”
Everyone had their own ways of trying to help me feel normal, sitting in a room as sterile as could be. Grandpa told jokes, Aubergine brought my school work and helped me do it so I could still move up a grade, Mom actually tried to be a mom and comforted me, and Percy kept me apprised of his lovelife.
Liz: “Persica! Listen to me, I’m not leaving you. I’m going to keep you safe, okay?”
Persica: “...Okay.”
Liz: “Come here, Rosie. It’s all going to be okay.”
...
Spice: “So, can we really keep her safe?”
Liz: “We’ll find out, won’t we?”
Spice: “Let me help you up. Persica, what happened?! You have been laying here for days!”
Persica: “I... I don’t... Dad? Dad!”
Liz: “Hey, Rosie-posie.”
Persica: “Daddy... I miss you so much.”
Liz: “I know, babydoll. I miss you too.”
Spice: “How are you here?”
Liz: “I’m not at liberty to say much, but I can say that both a friend of the family and an actual member of the family have pulled some strings to let me be here, for Persica’s sake.”
Spice: “Monsieur, I appreciate your attempts at comforting me, but who are you?!”
Liz: “Her Father.”
Spice: “...Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
Liz: “She’s waking up. Or, rather, entering a lighter state of comatose.”
Spice: “Persica!!”
Persica: “Mom?”
Tilli: *sniff* “Yes, sweetie?”
Persica: “This is honestly a long time coming, but we need to talk about how you act around Aubergine.”
Till: “Oh... O-of course.”
Persica: “Mom... I need you not to drink when you talk to me.”
I woke up days away from the end of the school year. Mom had had the art studio remodeled into a “clean room” for me, so I could be home and not in space. There were a lot of big machines to keep the air clean. Apricot hung out with me a lot when she wasn’t at school.
Doctor: “...Frankly, we don’t know why Vil purchased a growth vat all those years ago, I just remember getting the order. And with Val out of prison, and your health failing, we have to wonder.”
Royal: “I see. If a younger version of me turns up, get in contact with me. This old dog has a few tricks left.”
Doctor: “Captain Nova said you sent in a report about an impossible event. Is it possible-”
Royal: “Probably, but the reason why I don’t know yet.” *buzzer sounds* “That will be Percy’s session ending. May I see my granddaughter?”
Doctor: “Of course.”
...
Royal: “Hello, darling. I brought you something I think you might like. This book was your father’s favorite when he was a child. ‘In an old house in Paris, all covered in vines, lived 12 little girls in two straight lines...’”
