"It wasn't a terrible life." she says, looking at the picture as well.

"It's not like they didn't love us. We had everything."

"But that's the problem, isn't it? They don't want us to go through the same tribulations and build our own experiences. They won't let us earn anything."

"Mother's not...well." Freya tries to put it as gently as possible.

"You should at least go see her sometimes."

His head snaps towards her.

"She's ill??"

"Calm down." she says raising her hands placatingly.

"I'm talking about her mental health."

Which he already knows about. She does smile though. That reaction was telling.

He grunts, crossing his arms and looking back at the picture.

"Her smothering is worse than father's. The separation is probably even better for her than it is me."

"You don't mean that." Freya says, seeming displeased by the answer.

"I absolutely do." He reaffirms.

"How am I ever supposed to get on father's level with her chaining me down? Maybe having a longer leash is acceptable for whatever goals you might have, but a bird cannot fly if it's not allowed to leave the nest."

"I'm not telling you to listen to her. Or to stay. I'm just asking you to go see her. There's a difference between ignoring and abandoning."

Freya crosses her arms.

"Family is the most important. You don't have to turn your back on it."

He grunts again, crossing his arms. Silas doesn't object, however.

"What of Father? You haven't made much mention of his state."

"He's the same." she says, avoiding eye-contact.

"If you leaving has affected him at all, no one would know."

Silas' only response is a clench of his jaw.

"You want it to."

It doesn't sound like a question, but it kind of is.

"No offense, Silas. But it probably is." Freya shrugs.

"You coming to Paradigm likely hasn't done anything against him."

"That's even worse. Copies are always more faded than the original." He frowns.

This is awkward. Not only is she hearing half of the conversation, but it's been rather intimate about family stuff. Sure, Freya's pretty quiet, but so is the room. Though she hadn't been kicked out, the psychic's words from earlier might as well have made it clear she should. It's not like she'd want either of them witnessing what she was like with what's left of her own family.

She gets up and begins heading towards the door.

"You can't exactly escape the fact you inherit traits from your parents." she chuckles.

"Like him, I can tell you care."

She pauses just as her hand reaches the door, tempted to say something while Freya's here since she has no idea if or when she'll see the other girl again.

Eh, fuck it. She doesn't have to respond, and she doesn't have to pay attention either. At least Rebecca would have tried.

"I'm sorry for earlier, Freya." There are a lot of things she could say to explain her moment of stupidity, but it's a waste of breath and distraction. Besides, she really didn't belong here.

Unless something is done or said, she leaves, forgetting her phone was with some of the belongings stuffed under her chair. She'd brought them to keep her mind busy while bouncing between rooms.

Freya doesn't respond, but Rebecca gets a nod in acknowledgement.

"You don't think that shows caring?" she tilts her head.

"Extreme, maybe. But I doubt it's just for control."

"..." Silas averts his gaze elsewhere with an exhale.

"Perhaps one visit to mother could quell her nerves."

Freya gives him a genuine smile.

"You'll have to wake up, first. Do you feel ready?"
