[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

Yael.

When?

How?

I don't know.

But it's my fault.

What do you MEAN it's your fault?

You haven't even been here for days!

Yeah.

[ Exactly. ]

[Ohhhhhh be glad this is not in person, Hector, because Misteaks immediately snaps.]

That doesn't make any sense.

Why the hell are you blaming me for it, then? What the hell could I have done? I'm not CCCorp. I don't have some magic power just because Lily talks to me. We'd still be stuck.

Do you think I could stop people dying by somehow telling you words that nobody believed anyway? Would that have stopped your NDA that made you disappear? Would that have stopped you being pissed off at CCCorp and pissed off at Lily and pissed off at me?

Will fighting me make you feel better or get you more answers? Because I don't think it will. And if he's actually gone, what I know won't bring Yael back.

[ Grief is one hell of a drug.

Where Fai might lock himself away, it's at this point Hector realizes he's lashing out at the people he cares about.

(Keep them away, so that he can't hurt them, right?)

He reads Barrett's message over and over and over again and as he cools, he admits he's right. He's totally right. The situation is complicated, and his desperation to lash out or point fingers is causing him to gloss over the nuance (would he have picked up on it normally?). It isn't fair to him, or anyone else who has a better grasp of the situation than he does.

He's shown too much, so he clams up again, and relents. ]

You're right.

I'm sorry, Barrett.

you mean here?

What do you mean? Where else could he go?

no I just thought if it was like uta

but there'd be no way to know that huh

[Damn it. Damn all of this.]

maybe as long as his body's still alive

I mean we don't know enough about what's happened to us to say for sure right?
