( Lexi sighs. ) I did consider if it was me. Like they said, the house may make us do it.

The boy at least they said was a skinny blonde. Does seem to really fit Alia, unfortunately.

I... don't know that I couldn't our wouldn't have done any of the other kills.

... I could have been capable of several of them. ( he glances at Dani. )

[ dani's face pinches with urgency. ]

No one can know.

That power, Lexi, please. Promise me, you won't tell anyone. The things I told Koby...

[ his teeth set. he remembers that conversation like he'd remember a nightmare. he's replayed it in his head so many times the things he said. the things he wishes he hadn't. why hadn't he just lied? ]

We can't trust these people. Not properly. And I don't care how nice their dungeons are, I can't have you locked away so they can decide on whatever punishment. Anyone might turn against you. So anything they don't already know, they can't. Especially something like those powers.

( he wants to argue it, but Alina came so close to saying Caroline's name. Dani could figure it out. others might just as easily from what she said.

so who's to say anyone will protect his secret if it means protecting people they care about more than him? that's painful to think about. he doesn't want to test the theory.

so he nods. )

The voice inside me has always told me to keep it quiet.

I won't reveal it now. I don't know if I'll ever tell anyone here. It's been i've 200 years. What's another few odd years?

[ dani comes close to him, taking his hand. ]

I'm so sorry for asking you to hide it. You shouldn't have to.

But I think the voice is right. I wish I hadn't told people as much as I have. I can't take that back now, but I can avoid saying more.
