[ After... Well... Everything. They are at the dining hall and Joonghyuk places a bowl of English soup, roasted cauliflower and turmeric soup to be specific.

This is Sholmes' now. ]

getting psychic damage by the blurry image again as always

...

[He snaps out of his daze, a bit surprised by the sudden offer of coup.]

Ah. [Oh, it smells lovely.] Mr. Joonghyuk....thank you.

it is yours

[malewife]

I thought you would want something warm after what we've been through.

[ They really only come together because of trauma... The effect is back and Joonghyuk is bleeding profusely, but he has accepted it will just be this way. He sits down next to him. ]

Are you all right?

[greatdeduction]

[He's bleeding from his abdomen again, through his clothes. It's fine.]

[He sighs.]

...I do think you know the answer to that, yes?

[malewife]

[ Yeah, they're fine. ]

As you said weeks before, pleasantries and care. [ ... ] We could have gone to get her—if you wanted to.

[greatdeduction]

...I guarantee she would've disappeared like the rest of them. And we would've put the others in danger.

[And he couldn't let that happen.]

Besides, it...wasn't real.

[malewife]

... At least you would have gotten some time with her.

[ But he understands. ]

Even if it isn't real, the pain is still there. [ ... ] The previous subject that was mentioned on the papers there is my younger sister.

[greatdeduction]

....What? Yoo...Yoo Mia?

[Was that her name?]

I'm...I'm so sorry. What a wretched place, to play games with our loved ones.

[malewife]

Yes, Mia. She's eleven.

[ So young, similar in age to Iris. He thinks they would have probably been good friends if they met. ]

It did and I should be used to it, but... It's still painful even if it isn't real.

[ That's the point, isn't it, Sholmes? ]

[greatdeduction]

Oh.

[His...expression crumples, for a moment.]

Yes. The pain is real. And it is hard to...convince one's eyes that what they saw was a mere illusion.

[malewife]

[ Illusion, reality… ]

What do you usually do?

[ When you’re depressed as shit. Might as well fall onto distractions instead. ]
