Orion: “You sure it’s fair to discuss it while Patrick’s still at work?”

Tiave: “Oh come on, it’s not like he’s in any danger not to go to college! He’s swimming in scholarships. Let’s be real: the girls will have to stay home. Don’t worry, we’ll leave you some money. We four have more than enough.”

Loren: “I pass.”

Orion: “What?”

Loren: “You’re all a bunch of sociopaths and if I’m stuck with you any longer, I’ll go crazy. No thank you. If I pass, we can afford to pay the difference for one of the girls. I have a well-paying job and good prospects of being hired full time if I want to.”

Kestrel: “But the inheritance?”

Loren: “Yeah, sorry, but this whole thing is creeping me out. Reviving a man? This is the stuff horror movies are made of. I’ll just forget any of this here happened.”

Orion: “Swan should come with us.”

Kestrel: “Why not me?!”

Tiave: “Because she still has a job, duh! You don’t even make an effort to raise the damn money!”

Swan: “I will think about it.”

Tiave: “Well, good luck, Kestrel. Have fun becoming a suburban housewife. Suits your look just fine!”
