How could she believe what the files told her?

"Hey, Jangie, what do you prefer, sunsets or sunrises?"

"Sunsets."

"I'll draw a sunset then. Will you put it on the fridge with the others?"

"Of course, Jungkookie. You know I will."
-
"The library is running out of books."

"I believe you just read too fast."

"Possibly. Say... do you have books you could bring me?"

"Of course, Namjoon-Oppa. I do."
-
"The mirror is broken."

"Yes it is."

"Did I break it? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Of course, Hobi. I always do."
-
"I wish I was allowed longer, I can't learn in twenty minutes."

"I know."

"Do you like my music? Jang-Mi, do you?"

"Of course, Suga-Oppa. I love it."
-
"Jangie, it hurts."

"I know it does."

"Ow, it really hurts. Jangie, will it stop hurting?"

"Of course, Jiminie. I know it will."
-
"I hate the meds. They taste funny."

"They do."

"I hate them. One day can I stop taking them? Will you let me?"

"Of course, Taetae. I will one day."
-
"I hope the others aren't too much for you. They get needy."

"They aren't."

"And you're sure?"

"Of course, Seokjin-Oppa. I promise."

Each night she holds their hands as they cry, medicate, scream, or sit silently.
"Don't cry, darling."
She says it to each one.

Each one remembers.
