"Not the voices, they're people." Marri insisted. "They have been there for as long as I can remember. Thankfully Charlie let me in, he's my uncle so…"
group
"Sorry, People. I've been almost trained to call them voices because if Nykidia called me a person at the other places they would hurt her." Night said apologizing.
"I know." Marrin said shuddering. "I was out of Charlie's care or a bit and sent to a therapy camp, they hurt me and them."

"Nykidia doesn't like talking about them." Night said. "So have you people always been there?" Nykidia asked.
"Rowan and Ed have been there for a while, some of the others have come more recently."
group
"Night only showed up after the incident." Nykidia said.
"I've been here since I was 8. My mom tried therapy before sending me here, but it didnt work. The doctors just gave me medicine that made the hallucinations worse…" Sage shivered as she remembered the hollow shell she had been when she took those medications. Trapped in a numb state of lucid and uncontrollable terror.
“I’ve been here since ten years old” Alfie says, purposefully keeping his answers short, “my parents figured they had nothing else to do” he hated mentioning his parents but he decided to do it regardless
“See ya Deb!” Kaliyah yelled and quickly started her bike. The bag of donuts and her book were strung across her handle bar. She came home and ran inside
Sage patted Alfie's arm. Then, she turned her head to see Kaliyah. "Finished your shift already?" She smiled.
"I want death." Marrin said after she checked her phone, she flopped onto the couch dramaticly.
group
"Can I join you in the wanting of death?" Nykidia said flopping down on the couch next to her.

Robin walked downstairs and sat down on the floor in front of the couch. "What are we talking about."
group
"Wanting to die." Nykidia said sliding off the couch slowly.
group
"sorry I don't believe I am allowed to say I want in unless I want to but put on suicide watch." Robin said quietly.
“Suicide watch is not fun at all..” Alfie says, looking down at the floor
"No, It's not at all. But I don't care right now." Marrin said, tears brimming in her eyes. She was pretty good at hiding emotion, but this, this was too much. Her parents, gone in a flash.
group
"I have been on it too much, that is probably why I was sent here." Robin sighed
group
"What is suicide watch?" Night asked.
group
"It is when you are seen as at chance to kill yourself." Robin explained.
Alfie goes to sit by her, carefully staying outside of Marrin's personal space area, "Hey.." He manages his most comforting voice, "You need to talk?"
"My parents just died in a car crash." She whispered, not fully accepting it herself. "They're gone."
group
"Huh. Never heard of it." Night said. "You'd think we'd know. Considering the times we-" Nykidia said, trailing off.
group
"Yeah…. I almost did succeed in killing myself but…." Robin trailed off not finishing the sentence.
group
"We've tried several times."
group
He nodded and looked at the ground.
Sage joined the two on the couch. Marrin had helped her in her time of need, Sage wanted to return the favor. She sat close and pulled Marrin into a hug, just as she had done last night. "I'm sorry that happened…." She whispered to Marrin. She began to wipe her tears as they fell.
Alfie shakes his head slightly and frowns, “oh goodness…” he hugs Marrins side tightly, also wrapping his arms around Sage
group
"Your parents died?" Nykidia said looking up at Marrin. "How?"
"They're gone!" Marrin sobbed, Ed and the others trying and trying to calm her down. "Gone and I couldn't even be there with them in their last moments because I'm in this fucking place!"
