Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Nate was silent for a moment, before nodding and quickly disappearing out of the room, with Gabriel watching him, and then turning back towards Erica.

"...you're welcome." he answered.

He took the wheeled table that he'd set the food on, and brought it over towards her, making sure she could comfortably eat while still being in bed. And she could smell how divine it was.

"Waffles, as I said." he repeated. "With some syrup and toppings and such." he went on.

"Was the first thought that came to mind."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Erica didn't say anything, but nodded. He could tell, even if only just because he knew her so damned well, that she was appreciative of what he'd done. Most certainly more than she could actually put into words for the moment.

Plus, not that she could say as much, being around him helped her keep her head clear. His presence was helping the extra curse element that Vanessa had thrust upon her, be less apparent. It was still there, nothing would remove it without their agreement, she was sure, but at least they weren't so apparent now as they had been before.

Gabriel could sense that his presence there was actually helping her... he could see it in her eyes... and just sat down in the chair that was by her bed. He just smiled at her, and sat back, so she could eat in peace, and silence, if that was what she preferred.

Meanwhile, Nate made his way to the office, where he saw Angela still looking a little shocked by what had happened.

"Uh, hey." he greeted her.

"I know what all that was." he said.

"And no, it's nothing bad, I assure you." he quickly added.

Angela was silent for a moment.

"First and foremost, has Erica been found?" she asked, concern to her voice.

"If yes, then you can tell me what you know."

Forgive, O Lord,

"Yeah." Nate responded.

He then stepped inside and shut the door, before sighing.

He then explained what little he knew, but everything he could extrapolate from what he knew. He described what he was doing when he felt everything, the scene he walked in on, and how Gabriel had taken her back to her room, and how he'd made sure she was reconnected to everything, before coming here.

"...long story short, Erica's mental state seems to be improving, and Sariel should awaken VERY soon, thanks TO Erica."

Angela let out a breath.

"good" was all she said for a moment.

"Just... Good. The last thing we need is for Erica to not recover." she then said.

"Yeah." Nate agreed.

"But... Erica is on the road to recovery, and Sariel should be up and functioning soon, according to Erica." he said.

"And Gabriel is staying with her." he told her.

"Seems his presence is... REALLY helping." he mumbled.

"I've not seen her look so calm since... well, she got here."

Angela just sighed, that one breath saying a lot. There was relief, some stress but mostly relief, to that one breath.

"Good. At least there's that." she stated.

"also seems we're going to need to keep a better eye on her." she added, some annoyance to her voice. That wasn't something she was ever interested in doing, but did realise that sometimes... It was needed.

---

The moon was high, the halls were silent, and she was making her way through them. She wasn't worried about being caught, seemed to realise that she'd be fine.

She didn't know what she was following, exactly, but was following something. Soem sort of sense was pulling her closer, and as she made her way downstairs she realised where she was going.

The holding cells. It wasn't somewhere she wasn't familiar with. Being an interrogator, she'd been there plenty. However, it was most certainly jot somewhere that she expected to be led by some unseen force.

Nate just exhaled slowly.

"Yeah..." he muttered.

"Yeah, it... seems so." he agreed reluctantly.

---

She continued to walk, until she stopped at one door in specific. It was the door to any regular holding cell, complete with mana restrictors and barriers... but it also looked like there was a demonic seal on the door as well.

One crafted by Azazel, it seemed. And it was strong. Odds are he'd had help in making it.

But it was there... because Sebastien was being kept in there.

Meanwhile, one of the guards that was on rotation looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

She was silent a moment before looking over to the guard.

"Lemme in." she said simply, her voice trembling a bit as she was. She was still uneasy around people, but at least able to hold herself together this well.

"... Pretty sure he needs me."

The guard was silent for a moment, before sighing.

"I don't like it." he said. "I was told not to let anyone in or out, unless specific authorisation was given." he told her. However, he then just shook his head, and took out a piece of paper.

"But... it's you." he continued. "... and you're the only one that can help Dr. LeBlanc right now." he reasoned. "The chief would let you in, I know that." he added, referring to Jake.

He then took the paper, and slapped it against the door, causing the seal to weaken, and the door to unlock.

"You got 5 minutes. Or until I hear trouble." he warned her.

She nodded, marvelling at how that was so easy. She'd honestly expected that she'd need to fight her way in, and while she was sure that she wouldn't do well with that, she was ready to do as need be.

Once she was let in, she made her way and over to where the black haired psych was sitting. He didn't look over when she entered, or as she neared.

"Where did she touch you?" she asked, not able to see the location at the moment. If need be, she'd let him try and collect her, and find out where it was then.

"..." Sebastien was silent for a moment.

"...hand." he answered.

There was something in his tone, too. A lot of things, actually. There was the madness of him resisting to give into his primal self, there was a hint of someone else controlling him, probably vestiges of Vae's control... there was guilt.

A LOT of guilt.

He slowly looked at her, and she could see the struggle in his eyes.

And he also looked like he wanted to grab her... to have her... SO badly.

Erica didn't say anything before lightly grasping his hand. She really didn't want to deal with all that right now. She was barely dealing with her own head for he moment, and as a result was most definitely not interested in someone else's mental issues for the moment.

So she just grabbed his hand, concentrated, and his could feel the clarity as it came.

Once the handprint was gone, she released his hand and got to her feet again. She didn't say anything before heading toward the door again. She didn't know if he would want to talk to the one that, as far as he was aware, had done that to him in the first place.

As she started walking towards the door, she heard something from him. Something that almost sounded like... sobbing?

"Miss Erica..." he said, sounding FAR more humble than she was used to.

"What happened back there?" he asked.

"Why did you cause me to act like that?" he asked further.

It seemed like he was, indeed, NOT aware of what had happened... but it kind of made sense. He had been in isolation, so he wouldn't have been getting the news and updates, and he seemed to have been in a bit of a strange half-there state.

But it seemed like he was more sad than anything else, and just wanted answers.

Erica was silent.

"Not me." She told him honestly.

"A copy." There was no way to know whether or not he would believe her, but it was the truth. She knew it was, and just hoped to convince everyone else who didn't know, of that too. At some point.

"... sorry." She added, her voice quiet.

"..." he was silent again as she said what she did.

"A copy." he said.

"An imposter? One that can mimic a soul?" he asked further.

"Seems so." Erica responded.

Again, Bast was silent, before he spoke again, this time a little more sad.

"...you sound not very good, either." he commented.

"I know." She added, turning to face him again.

"Encrae sucks."

"....Encrae..." Bast echoed.

"...she always seems to be the one causing us misery." he said.

"..." he was then silent again, before biting his lip.

"If... if you see Hazel..." he then said further, pausing a moment, his breath catching slightly.

"Tell... tell her I'm... sorry..." he went on.

"The same with... Dr. Remmington and her sister..."

Erica was silent for a moment.

"I haven't seen them." She told him honestly.

"If I do, I'll tell them." She assured him with a soft smile.

"Not your fault. Hopefully they'll understand."
