Audre narrowed her eyes in slight confusion at Jack’s surprised tone. But after thinking about it, she understood that not everyone in the lab was exactly nice to her either. She started to wonder what sort of life Jack had in the lab, fearing the type of judgment he had to face without the natural protection of his parents. “I knew both of them,” Audre confirmed. “In fact I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for the lab. I’m not trying to defend the labs because what they are doing is still wrong but I don’t blame my parents.”<br/><br/>She mindlessly petted Birdy as her eyes became distant. “My mother always wanted a child of her own. But she had a disease that had a high risk of her miscarrying. Both of them working at the lab, they worked together to make me,” Audre’s mouth twisted as if she tasted something bitter. Memories of leaving them flashed in her mind and she did her best not to wince from them. “They worried if they should have gone for something as simple as adoption, then that child wouldn’t be trapped in the lab like I was. However, they did their best to make my life easy in there. They really loved me.”
