Yeah. His brother and our kid were taken. It's been rough.

I'm okay. I'm pissed, but I'm okay. Glad to hear you are too.

your kid too?? who's that? when did that happen?

i'm pissed too. things are bad enough but on top of it they think they can take us and do whatever the hell they want? it's horrifying and we still have no idea who is doing it to do anything to stop them.

... sorry. it isn't your fault, I don't need to light you up about it

A daughter. Sayori. She'd just been pulled in when she got subjected to this shit.

It's okay. Light away.

[ there may or may not be a tree in their backyard with a few marks in the trunk from where she'd been throwing knives into it. ]

oh god. i know her. is she... is she okay?

i just wish i knew who i was supposed to be stopping. innocent people keep getting hurt, we're test subjects in some bizarre game, and i don't know what to do. usually there's some hint or thread or sign but here there's nothing.

( okay, so, maybe he's not handling it that great after all. whoops. )

I wouldn't call it okay. Everyone's just trying to cope.

I know. And I hate it, too. Especially since we don't have any answers.

[ it's been like reeva controlling the inner circle, bringing in more and more dangerous factors without explaining their goal. except they don't know who's in charge of this. there's no one to direct their anger towards. ]

i will try and check in with her.

my "dad" disappeared, too, it's just different somehow. it's like he never existed at all. and no matter how much i ask or where i look there's no sign of him. i really doubt he just ollied back home, you know?

Good. I think she'd like that.

Yeah. I don't know how they decide what happens here, who goes home or gets taken or why. [ maybe there's a pattern none of them can see yet, some rules broken none of them had realized. it's better than thinking that it's all random. ]

I'm sorry he's gone.

people keep saying that. "home". like that's some foregone conclusion and if we can't find someone they went back where they're supposed to be.

but there were just a good dozen people in a secret lab being experimented on. seems more likely to me that something way worse than a trip home happens. i just can't prove it. like i can't prove anything around here.

I think it's something they need to believe.

[ she knows she does. ]

i wish i could believe it.

( as it is, he can't. after everything that just happened? he definitely can't. )

[ she's finding it harder to believe, too. but she needs to, needs to hold out hope that she'll see her daughter again, that the world she'd been trying to build for her was salvageable. ]

I need to.

( Peter tries his best to be hopeful. optimistic. but he also can't help but think there's not a lot of optimism in this situation. out of sight is not out of mind. )

i hope you're right.

( hope he can do. even if he can't quite manage to believe. )
