Dicen hummed lightly, hugging his legs a bit tighter. "What's happened?" he finally asked, turning his head to look at the barren and haphazard state of affairs. He recognized the garage, though it was in a state of disarray that he'd never seen it in before, but he couldn't remember how he got there. His eyes finally fell on the disassembled suspension tube. Memories came back to him in bits and pieces. "I remember that you were scared."<br/><br/>"I was, yeah," Lex admitted. He knelt, leaning against Blue's side to lower himself down. "I wish I had an explanation for you, but I don't. The day that I hid you away, there was a sound. You said it hurt your head, and then the other Realians followed suit. And I just... I panicked, and put you in hypoxia."<br/><br/>Dicen looked up at him. "You could see then," he remembered. The doctor had guided him to the garage between the blurs of frantic officers bustling about them. He couldn't remember why they were so worried about a noise. "What about the other Dr. Ascolani?"<br/><br/>Lex felt his jaw lock at the mention of his father. "He's dead, Dice. He's actually the reason I'm blind, if you can believe that." His voice came out in a strained half-laugh at the irony.
