U—um...

@Host

Sorry if that's kind of awkward.

They died in a plane crash seventeen years ago.

@Host

Oh, that's unfortunate. Um, I don't know if you're Christian or not, but were your parents saved?

*It like most of the parts is made of wood, nothing else notable about it through.*

I think so, at least. It was nothing extravagant, but he worked hard. He had the worst luck, though.

@Host

What happened? If you don't mind my asking.

*Shrugs*
He said he wanted to provide for his family himself or something. Uncle Strife never married and didn't have any kids, so I guess that was a bit lost on him.

@Host

Did your dad provide for you guys well?

*The benches and chairs here are similar to the ones in the main room/lobby, hand woven with rudimentary cushions, and from what you can see of the tables underneath all of the parts and papers they seem to be basic and unadorned.*

@Stabby

*Sits on one of the chairs near the tables and fidgets with one of the parts*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Uncle Strife made some good investments, so we never really had to worry about money. My dad would never accept help from him though.

@Host

*Maintains eye contact* Why not?

Well, I appreciate that he's helping. Medical school costs a lot.

@Host

It does. Man, my uncle's rich from being a doctor and he's still paying off his debt from medical school.

@Stabby *Leans on a wall and glances around at the furnishings*

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Oh yeah. Money is beyond a nonissue for me.

@Host

That's awesome. I'm glad you're getting so much help, and it's cool that you're diligent, too. A lot of kids that get free rides to college—especially college athletes—end up throwing it all away because they don't take responsibility.

We have a good relationship. I haven't seen him as much since I started school though.

@Host

I'm glad you do. Are you paying for college? Is he helping you at all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

He's all.

@Host

Huh. Well, what about him?

Myriad Reality

dark do you remember what sector they are in
