“Charles.”
Raven wants to hear his thesis. Raven is his sister, his sister he found in his kitchen wearing his mother’s skin. His mother, he hasn’t thought of his mother in ages, where is she now? He wants to stretch out and feel her mind, but he can’t, can’t do anything, but cry and scream and bleed and oh yes, he’s gotten very good at bleeding, he’s practiced quite a bit. He’s always been a good study, such good grades and he’s a professor now and -

Charles opens his eyes and closes them and opens them again. He can feel the floor beneath his back and it is cold and when he looks up, he sees the blurry halo of fluorescent lights and there is a face, a face with a name that he knows, yes he knows - “Erik.” The face shifts. Charles feels the ripple of reliefconcernragelovehurtshame and flinches. Erik is talking now, but Charles finds it hard to focus on what isn’t being said instead. Erik
