All night Lex did not return, leaving me to sleep lonely in a cold bed, staring into the Moses basket Izzy was starting to outgrow.
He'd spent an hour with Izzy after her feed, then escaped back to the lab. The entire time he avoided eye contact, purely focusing on Izzy and ignoring my attempts at goodwill.
We'd never argued before, at least that I remember, so I was unaware of the precedent on how to act to resolve it.
There was something eating him alive each time he felt my gaze. If I didn't know better, I'd assume he looked guilty and not for raising his voice.
How much easier it would all be if I could recover my memories of all these souls linked to mine.
Or maybe it would be easier if instead, they could all just forget me…
