Mary turned only when he had pulled her into his orbit. She spared one glance back at the journal before walking deeper into the apartment. She read his journal a couple years ago. It was painful.

"What'd you write about tonight?" It was far more interesting than the nausea.

Maybe he should come to bed? His hands don't hurt from writing?

the past didn't find him in his dreams anymore. it found him in the quiet wakeful hours when the only monster left to fight was himself.

Ugh. I remember high school. [Mostly remembered being groomed to hunt] I'm like 33, Iris... but yes.

[Subtle roll of eyes] I just wanted to see you. Have you started school yet?

Mmm, you're making feel old. [She is old. Mary hugs Iris tight.] Don't tell your grandpa I'm here. [Or Sam.]

"What did you tell them?" The kids.

No, he didn't. She didn't argue that, though. Just settled into the wooden chair and arranged the glasses. If resurrection wasn't enough... this surely topped the cake of the worst scenarios.
