"Your entire world is confined to this building and yet you're not angry or consumed with hate," Ruvik muttered as he watched her inspect his scars. He was in constant pain from the burns and her touch didn't exactly help but he only let her touch him for a reason even he wasn't aware of, "You're like Laura in that sense I guess."

 "Help...Help!" Leslie's voice echoed from the same direction Sparrow had come from and both she and Sebastian's head's turned to the call for help. Leslie came through the arch in a hurry, panting from jogging awkwardly for so long.
                          
"Leslie..." Sparrow muttered as Leslie jogged to hide behind her, she was a little cautious about him.
                          
Suddenly Joseph and Kidman rounded the corner with both their guns pointing towards Leslie.
                          
"Sebastian, get away from him!" Kidman orders with Joseph nodding in an attempt to encourage him, but Sebastian shook his head and aims his revolver right back at them and scoffs.
                          
 "Sebastian listen to me, Kidman told me everything and this boy. This boy needs to be killed!" Joseph shouted but Sebastian only looked at him in disbelief.
                          
"Look I get it, Kidman's not just some rookie detective and these are not just some ordinary kids. But right now you're believing the woman who shot me over someone who you've known for years. Open your eyes Joseph! Cause right at this moment your beliefs are not enough reason for me to trust you!" Sebastian replied, Sparrow stepped backwards and attempted to shield Leslie from the fight.
                          
 "If you know who these kids are, if you know anything, then you know why they can't be allowed to live!" Kidman exclaimed which suddenly earner her a quizzical look off of Joseph.
                          
"Wait I thought you said it was just Leslie," Joseph asked and Kidman nodded.
                          
"I thought so too, but Sparrow wasn't brought here by accident like the both of you, were you Sparrow?" Kidman stated. Sparrow didn't reply but merely narrowed her eyes at the other woman.
                          
"Bullshit! Its Ruvik, he's the once that..." Sebastian started but was interrupted when a high pitched ringing noise that seemed to affect everyone except Leslie and Kidman.
                          
Sparrow clutched her head and scrunched her face in pain. As she struggled to keep her eyes open a sudden blur of yellow bits fluttered in the corner of her vision. She spun round, trying to follow the yellow blur and as the ringing died down her vision was able to focus a little. Swirling around her was a gathering of sunflower petals and before she could think of a reason why they would appear, the petals disappeared.
                          
Suddenly she realised she was in a completely different environment. A gigantic brain stood on its spine where STEM used to be and clear liquid that was tinted yellow surrounded them.
                          
"Sparrow," A hoarse whisper drifted past her ears. Turning round to the voice there stood Ruvik without his cloak or bandages, his scars on for show.
                          
Sparrow froze, tears threatened to fall over her bottom lid. After everything they had been through she knew he wanted both of them out of the system, Ruvik couldn't leave without a vessel since he was nothing more than a brain in the real world and Sparrow, she couldn't leave without at least another soul inside her, another personality, or she would become a human vegetable in the real world. The only option was to let Ruvik possess her. Better her then Leslie.
                          
"Me and my sister were extremely close," Ruvik started as he watched the 12 year old Sparrow draw a sunflower, "there wasn't anything I wouldn't do for her and I suppose she would do anything for me, well, did everything for me. I would give everything to have her back."
