"Emi!" John B shouts, running over and giving her a hug.
She lets out a soft groan, her body still sore from the electric shocks.
"Where were you? You took forever!" He yells, shakily. He strokes her hair and pulls her into his chest.
"Uhm, I lost my job. And the compass...?" She says shakily, shrugging up at her brother with an innocent smile on her face.
Long story short, she explained the whole situation to her brother who was hesitant at first but eventually agreed with all her choices. It was better off that Peterkin had it. It wasn't worth them risking their lives again. The two of them were way to important to each other.

"Let's get cleaning." Melia says with a soft laugh, pulling away from her brothers hug. 
Maybe their friends were right. They should let it go. Move on.
Melia kicks a bunch of rubbish from off the floor into one corner, grabbing a black bag and throwing it all in. She breathlessly wipes her forehead. 
How had they not cleaned once in 9 months?!
John hesitantly picks up some of his fathers stuff, sighing. Melia walks over and takes a deep breath in, picking up some of his stuff and placing it on the pile of wood they had set up outside. She shoots her older brother a soft smile, nodding at him.
They would pull themselves together, pick up the pieces.
He steps forwards shakily, pouring a bottle of gasoline over the massive pile of stuff. He steps back, grabbing a match and lighting it. He looks back at Melia once more, before throwing it on top of all the research.
He rests his arm around Emilia, pulling her close to him. She sniffles slightly, quickly wiping her eyes and shaking her head.
Bury the dead.
"Do you think we've done the right thing..?" She asks quietly, but John was focused on something else. She squints her eyes to where he was looking at, and suddenly it clicks.
"I- Holy shit!" She yells, the same time her brother shouts.
"Olivia Redfield!"

Melia, JJ, John B and Pope all pull up to the wreck. Kiara was working there, they needed her.
"She says she's not coming!" Pope yells angrily, walking back out of the restaurant. He leans on the banister.
"Why not?" JJ asks with a frown, furrowing his eyebrows.
Melia shifts uncomfortably in her seat, biting her lip. 'This is so cringe...' She thinks.
JJ looks into the back at Melia who simply raises her hands and points to her older brother. JJ sighs dramatically.
"What did you do to her, John B?" He asks with an eyeroll.
Melia has to hold in her laugh, coughing slightly to try and play it off.
