32 for Cyan, 22 for Sameera, and 44 for Candy, please!

22. Would they ever betray someone for money?

I don't think she has it within her to betray anyone, even if the people around her would. Poor thing.

32. If they could change one thing about themselves what would it be?

Cyan is relatively at ease with himself. In the past the answer would likely have been "change my father". Now it doesn't matter as much to him.

44. Who, if anyone, would they trust with their deepest secrets?

In the past, Goldie. Now they've moved away and don't ever roll wants to talk to each other, so they've essentially lost contact. Now it varies. In the present I think, depending on what the secret would be about, the answer would either be Charity, Valentine, or even Lana, as they've reached an odd mutual understanding and even become reluctant friends.

Still, each time he drunk it, the thoughts wandered. All the times he and Sameera had gotten together, then broken up, gotten together, then broken up... Moving in together had seemed to be the right choice at the time.

Sameera, on the other hand, was ready to try again, but she feared what the response would be. They had tried and failed so many times. What if Rocky didn’t want to try again?

And what about Shelly? How would she feel if they tried again and didn’t succeed? The rollercoaster of emotions she had already gone through should be enough to scare any parent from ever jumping into commitment again.

Rocky was still unemployed, and he seemed to have no interest in changing that.

He had managed to stop thinking about Cyan Weiss. That was an improvement thanks to couple’s counselling. Still, he felt that strange need, the same need that had been tugging at him since he was resurrected, the same need that had driven him to start kissing the enemy.

It’ll be fine, he tried to comfort himself. With the elixir of life becoming so accessible these days, he was certain to live forever.

Valentine: Sameera, this is Tomoko. Tomoko, this is my daughter Sameera.

Sameera: Nice to meet you, Tomoko... Not to be rude, but why are you here in the middle of the night?

Tomoko: Oh, my coven and I gathered in order to destroy a time machine in an attempt to prevent-

Valentine: *interrupting* Tomoko, I don’t think we should burden Sameera with all this right now.

Sameera: Is it more confusing than dad’s relationship with his zombie ex-wife?

Valentine: Yes, by far.

Sameera: All right, not my circus, not my monkeys.

Tomoko: ... so Bella’s plan was to destroy the time machine in order to prevent any of these events from occurring.

Valentine: I understand... I think...

Sameera: Do I even want to know?

[nappe-plays-the-sims]

Sameera: At least you’re self-aware, I guess.

Valentine: And you don’t mind watching Aimée for a while after she gets home from school?

Sameera: *sigh* I’ll do it. Just don’t get anyone pregnant, I have enough siblings.

[nappe-plays-the-sims]

Valentine: You’re right. And I’m not going to pretend there is logic to everything I do.

Sameera: You’re going to visit her anyway, aren’t you? Actually, don’t answer that, I don’t want to know.

Sameera: I need to apologize to Rocky.

Valentine: What did you do?

Sameera: Claim your problems are easier to solve than his.

Valentine: I’m not going to pretend to be a role model, Sameera. I do my best to be a good parent, but my life choices are rarely backed up by rational reasoning.

Valentine: Angel lost her memory. She holds no grudge against the rest of the family anymore.

Sameera: There is a world of difference between holding a grudge and attempted murder, dad.

Valentine: Either way, she has no reason to go after us. And I have no reason to dislike her. The current Angel didn’t do what the past Angel did.

Sameera: But you’re holding onto her because of what the past-past Angel was?
