Hal was now silent, before leaning forward and massaging his temples slightly.

"It seems your duplicate really did more damage than we first imagined." he said.

"For whatever it's worth, I do apologise for the sudden accusation." he then apologised.

"I'm sorry." he outright said further.

"It's not distrust towards YOU." he went on. "It's towards someone who can very easily impersonate you." he assured her.

"Still. I did not mean for it to be a slight against you."

"To say that my life is a mess.... Would be quite an understate. Ent, if I'm being honest." Erica commented.

"I want nothing more than to have life return to how it was before the bitch showed up, but I know that I can't turn bsck time." She added, sighing heavily.

... Ah, while you're here, I should let you know that I am putting serious consideration into moving. Getting out of this city, this country possibly, may fix it. I'll have to start fresh, but.... It may be better than dealing with this aftermath." there was no blame to her voice. She wasn't accusing him, or anyone else.

If anything, she sounded like she didn't want tj move, but realised it may be the only thing she could do.

"....." again, Hal was silent.

"I see." he said.

"Well, I do hope it doesn't have to come to something so drastic." he told her.

"But... you know yourself better than anyone else." he continued.

"If you feel you must move... I cannot stop you." he lamented.

"It really isn't up to me." Erica told him after a few seconds.

"It's entirely dependent on whether or not I can show my face back at work and not have people act like I'm the other bitch." She added.

"I'm... I dunno. Not sure I can handle that."

"....I understand." Hal replied.

"Believe me, I do understand that." he told her.

"But... I implore you to give us a chance." he went on.

"My suspicion aside. Don't let that colour us." he continued.

"...." he was then silent again, before sighing.

"I'm sorry you're going through this." he said.

"Nobody deserves to deal with what you're dealing with."

Erica didn't say anything for a few seconds before sighing heavily.

"Apparently my curse decided to bring my life to this point too." She said.

"I'm sorry you've been dragged into this so thoroughly." She added. While her words could have bene taken as being token, there was more sincerity to them than he likely would have expected to come from her. Erica wasn't one to speak quite like that, wasn't one for such depressive thoughts or statements.

"....there's no need for you to apologise." Hal replied.

"It's not your fault." he said.

"It's Vanessa Encrae's." he went on.

"She's made all our lives miserable for the longest time." he sighed.

"Seems nobody is safe."

It was subtle.

As Erica said what he did, specifically when he mentioned the elves name, Erica froze. It seemed as if she was expecting to be ordered around, and knew that she would do so. She wasn't quite past the point of her not being so subservient when triggered.

Turns out that that her name was a pretty big one for her.

She was silent though.

Hal noticed this, and sighed.

"...lesson learned on mentioning that name..." he mumbled.

"Erica, you don't have to do that." he told her.

"It's all right." he said.

"You're safe. You're away from her."

Erica was silent, just looked to her hands.

"I..." She started, shaking her head.

"I... I just..." she tried again before sighing and falling silent for a few seconds.

". . . sorry... I know... I know I am, but... still... still not past that.."

Hal sighed again.

"It's a long road to recovery." he told her.

"But just know that we're all here for you." he said.

"I realise that this process takes time and understanding." he went on, before getting up and making his way to her.

"We'll help in any way we can." he said to her.

"I promise."

Erica was silent before sighing.

"Thank you." she said simply.

"All I can ask is for understanding and help if I need it." She added.

"And, perhaps, some allowances to be made." She added.

"But ... I'm not even sure I have much of a right to ask for that, either." She continued. "For all I know, no one will believe that I'm not who was terrorising everyone. She obviously copiued me extremely effectively."

"Yes, extremely effectively, but not perfectly." Hal responded.

"Allowances will be made, of course." he assured her.

"But, in time, everyone will come to see that you are you." he then said further.

"Time will be needed." he finished.

Jake sighed as he flipped the newspaper page, as a female stepped into the security area.

He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes?" he greeted her.

"How can I help you?" he asked.

She smiled softly.

"Hello." She greeted.

"Name's Desiree McCormick and I was told that Leo Fenretti is here today." She continued.

"I'm here to meet wit him."

"....." Jake was silent for a moment, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah!" he exclaimed.

"Of course." he said, his tongue darting out for a moment.

"Right." he said further.

"I'll have someone escort you to where-" he started to say, before Zeke stepped in from outside.

"Oh!" he said when he saw Desiree.

"Hello." he greeted her.

Desiree looked over and smiled.

"heh, hey Zeke." She said with a wave.

"Dead headset." She then added before looking back to Jake.

"Zeke can show me whereI'm going. Assuming he knows where Leo would be."

"I do." Zeke confirmed to Jake, who darted his tongue out again.

"All right." he said.

"In you go." he told them, buzzing them in.

The two of them stepped inside, and Zeke looked at her.

"Looking for Leo?" he asked, signing it as well.

"He should be in R&D. Let's go find him." he told her.

When Zeke signed his question, she just chuckled lightly, before sighing.

"sorry about that." She said.

"Long story short, they ... got a bit trashed." She commented before looking around.

"Anyhow, please. Lead the way." She said with a smile. "I... really would be lost without my guardian angel."

Zeke blushed a little when she made her last comment.

"Heh." he chuckled.

"Haven't technically been that for a while." he admitted.

"Anyway, let's go." he said, as they headed off.

"How have you been?" he asked her.

"I haven't kept good tabs on you for a bit, but I assume things are going well?"

Desiree just laughed as she saw Zeke blush.

"Thing's have been good." She answered with a nod.

"How about on your end?" She asked, her ovice curious.

"I certainly can't really keep tabs on you." She added with a chuckle.
