"WhAt?"

“WaNnA gO tO yOuR cAsTlE tO tElL yOuR dAd To FrEe My MiStReSs?”

Corin gasped. "You're accusing my dad of kidnapping your boss?"

“Mhmm.” Luciana nodded.

"You don't know for sure….do you?"

Luciana smiled wryly, “This is her handwriting and signature.”

"Crap…." He mumbled.

Luciana sighed, “Does your father value power?”

"Uh…..I don't know we don't really…..hang out per say….."

“That’s, that’s really sad.”

"Not….not really…" He said, shrugging a little. "It's not sad if you never did in the first place….."

Luciana turned her stool to face Corin, “What about your mom?”

"Oh….her? She's…." He cleared his throat. "She's dead."

“I’m like fighting every nerve in my body to give you a hug.” Luciana sniffled, she was tearing up.

"Oh well…" Corin shrugged. "You can if you….want to…"

Luciana legit sprang from her stool and gave Corin a tight hug, “You poor childdd.”

Corin chuckled a little. "I have my cousin, Annika, so I'm not totally alone…." His face fell. "Then again……she's gonna become the Oracle soon….so no more Annika…."

“YoU pOOr ChIlD.” Luciana cried, hugging him tighter.

Corin hugged her back. He kinda felt like crying. "I'm okay…." He choked.

“You’re really not.”

Corin hugged her tighter. "wHO KnOWs! MAybE i nEEdeD THis!"

Luciana hugged him tighter as well, “cRyInG hElPs ReLiEvE sTrEsS bUt I’m StIlL sOrRy!”

"Why does she have to leave…." He squeaked.

“Some people leave so new ones can come in.” Luciana said, “Wait no. I’m sorry! I’m terrible at this.”

"You're fine…" He whimpered.

“But you’re not.”
