Two weeks later and Clairati hasn't gone to any of the meetings. It was unlike her to skip. But after she learns the truth she couldn't see anyone for a while. Hobbes was leaning on a building in an alley waiting for someone. Clairati was walking that general direction when she spotted him.
"Came to check up on me?"
"We haven't seen you for two weeks."
"I needed some time alone." She starts walking again.
"What happened?"
"Did you know?" she didn't turn her head to ask him face to face.
"What?" she turns to face him.
"Did you know that Chad was the one who leaked that my brother was fifth?" Hobbes just stares. "I've should have known. Who else knew?"
"Everyone except the kid."
"So I've been talking about my brother for two months and no one told Me." he was hesitating for a long time so she started to walk away.
"See you around."
Hours later, Clairati snuck in once again in the ship and went to medical center and found her brother.
"Joshua!" she shouts. He turns around. "You need to know something. You are my home. Wherever you go, I go. Whatever you do, I do. Whoever you plead your loyalties to, I will as well. I love you." She hugs him and closes her eyes. "I love you." He just stands there.
"This is not fitting for you." She opens her eyes wide. She backs away.
"It's not me. I'm not the one. It's her." She runs out.
She left and decided to go to her apartment.
"Clairati!" Clairati stops.
"You know journalist shouldn't have access to where people live." She turns around. "Or did you find out by Hobbes, Chad?"
"It's been two weeks."
"Yah, well, it's been two months for me so let's call it even." She starts to walk away but stops. "You had feelings for her didn't you?"
"I did. But I moved on."
"What if you didn't? I saw the way you looked at her in those videos, they were proof enough."
"So now I'm a bad person! Now you even talk to me because I made a mistake!"
"No! It's just….. I don't do well about feelings. I have always been alone, so can you let me be alone for right now."
"As you wish." He says with gentleness in his eyes. He walks away. She decides to enter her apartment. She goes into her refrigerator and gets a soda. She takes a gulp.
"You know if you weren't the princess, I would have killed you while I was chugging." Lisa walks out of a dark corner.
"I need you to help me bring back Joshua."
"Try that, it didn't work."
"It has to be you. You can..."
"You don't get it, do you? It's you! You can bring him back. I try the words that were important to him, but it didn't work. His loyalty is only to you. We don't follow the same order." Clairati starts walking to her bedroom. "He doesn't trust me as much as I don't trust you." She shuts her door.
