Mai POV
"John? Rosi? Why did your brother kill himself?" I asked them.
"Mai how do you know about that?" Rosi asked me.
"You had a dream didn't you Mai? A dream about Joey?" John asked me unphased at my knowledge of his brother's death.
"Yes I did. Who was Joey scared of? The one who hit him? Who was he? Is that why Joey killed himself? Because he was abused?" I asked them and they just looked down at their feet.
"That man was our father; well is our father. And he didn't always hit Joey. Joey always tried protecting us, mainly John. Father had it out for him for some reason. I think Joey just got tired of the pain" Rosi said while a single tear rolled down her cheek. While John got up and stormed out of the room looking close to tears.
"He's changed." I mumbled.
"Yes he has Mai you don't know the half of it." Rosi stated sadly.
"Well then tell me, please. I want to help I just don't know how." I begged.
" I don't know Mai. It's very personal. But you are his friend and I'm worried about my brother and he needs help so I... I'll tell you." Rosi said.
"Okay take your time Rosi"
"Ok."
"My brother has changed. A lot. Before Joey killed himself, John was a sarcastic happy kid. Yasu actually kinda reminds me of John in a way. There were times when Joey couldn't protect him but John would always brush it off and say 'it's just a scratch' or 'it's nothing I'll be fine I've had worse' . He never let any thing get to him." Rosi explained.
"When Joey committed suicide it broke him. He actually tried to... to kill himself a week after Joey's funeral. After that happened he met a priest named Father Monroe. Before John met Father Monroe or Mr Tim as I call him, he was technically an atheist. But then he became a Catholic priest and an exorcist. It surprised me you know?" Rosi asked.
"To tell you the truth though paranormal disturbances and psychic abilities have been in our family for generations. Our grandfather is the head of the biggest psychic research company in Australia. But don't tell anyone that. Please. Our last name isn't Brown either. Brown is our father's last name." Rosi explained.
"Wait what is your last name then?!?" I asked her.
"Nite our last name is Nite." Rosi said quietly.
"Oh. Wait if your family is in the paranormal research business does that mean that you have some one in your family that has psychic abilities? Because Naru and Lin both have special abilities." I inquired.
"Yes it does." Rosi stated as she walked out of the room, I suppose to find John.

"He still isn't picking up the phone! Where could he be?" Rosi asked desperately.
"I don't know Rosi. I'm so sorry." I apologized.
"Mai, it is not your fault. Ok?"
"Ok."
