 'Um...You weren't talking to me, right?'

 '...Said I'd be...there...' Her voice had dipped to nothing but a hoarse whisper. She felt a strange lump in her throat, shifting and squeezing him even tighter.

'Where...?' He shifted slightly, trying to loosen her grasp a little, without upsetting her too much.

'...School...' She felt her eyes welling up. Shaking her head furiously and pulling away, she tried to frantically wipe at her eyes. 'No! No no! No!' But they didn't stop, and she let out a small whimpering sob instead. One of Holly's hands lowered and crept back, finding his wrist and gently gripping it. Her aura had ebbed away to almost nothing. She kept her head bowed, hair dangling lifelessly about her face, shoulders shaking.

'Um, l-listen, if you let me go, I can go and get a tissue for you...' he tried.

'...Leaving, always leaving...always leaving...' She whispered tearfully, only holding onto his wrist tighter. She began to rock back and forth a little. '...Stay...with me...stay...'

'Sure...' Paris mumbled, and felt twinge of guilt at his plan to get a tissue, give it to her from a safe distance, and run like the wind. 'So, um. Nice lab?'

'I...won't be...mean...' She whispered, fresh tears sliding down her cheeks. The girl hiccuped a little, finally turning to lay her head against his shoulder again and put her arms back around him. 'M-my...m-my...m-mine...' Holly stammered.

'What do you do in here?' he asked, awkwardly hugging the girl, not sure what the hell to do, and certainly no longer sure how he got stuck in such a situation in the first place.

'...I...sleep...in the...corner...' She slowly said, not looking up from his shoulder. She felt a small wave of warm feelings at being held, her crying beginning to slow.

'But you've got a perfectly good bed,' Paris said, with a bewildered frown.

'Beds...are for...other people...not the bad girls...like me.' Holly faintly explained. 'No beds in the...little room...the little room...the little girl...cried always...so loud...so sad...wouldn't have liked it there, it's good...I went alone, it's good...it's good...'

'...What little room? What girl?' he asked, getting wildly alarmed; not because of what she could potentially do to him, but because of the things she was saying.

'The little room...suddenly, the little room, and it hurt...it always hurt...still hurts...still...here now...this is my little room. Mine...you...can stay with me...?' She slowly lifted her head, looking up at him bleary-eyed.
