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.

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.
