Contrary to what anyone says, the monster in those weird locked rooms is NOTHING to do with me.

I mean


I may have let it out. But it wasn't me who put it there in the first place.

[ Jacob. Jacob, why. ]

What precisely was the goal of this post? Were you worried someone was going to accuse you?

[nothinglikefather]

People have been looking at me funny anyway. Like it was me. It's often me but it wasn't this time. Don't I get to say that it wasn't me?

[mustact]

They have?

It is all right. You were not the only one to open one of those doors. We could not know what was in them, because no one told us.

[nothinglikefather]

Some people.

Can you say that to Charles please.

[mustact]

If he needs to be told.

[ He doesn't think Charles does, though. ]

[nothinglikefather]

I was expecting him to assume the worst.

[mustact]

Did he?

[nothinglikefather]

No. He isn't Evie.

[mustact]

Evie is your sister?

[ Jacob doesn't talk about her much. ]

[nothinglikefather]

My twin sister.

[mustact]

Do you miss her?

[nothinglikefather]

Yes, sometimes. We didn't always agree about everything.

We didn't agree about most things.

But she's still my sister. She's the only constant I've had. It's... odd. That she isn't here.

[mustact]

It is very strange to leave behind what one knows.

[nothinglikefather]

You're telling me I expect her to turn up and tell me where I've been going wrong.

[mustact]

I would hope she would be happy to see you and not immediately start criticising you.

[nothinglikefather]

You know, she might well have missed me. I mean the passage of time doesn't mean very much to everyone else...

But it's a nice thought. Thank you, Connor.

[mustact]

I am certain that if times were to pass, she would.

[nothinglikefather]

I hope so. I do miss her.

At least this time we parted on good terms.

[mustact]

I am glad to hear it.
