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? ]

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.

[ Illusion, reality… ]

What do you usually do?

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