Iris and Bill stared at each other in the eyes, their foreheads pressed together. They remembered New Years, and Anna's party, where they almost got their chance to kiss but were interrupted. Now there were no interruptions.

"That was real, right?" Iris asked.

"Of course it was real," Bill laughed, "You felt it, didn't you?"

"No, I mean- Like, those feelings. Those are real, right?"

"They've been real ever since we first spoke, Iris."

Iris smiled and pulled her head away from Bill's, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.

"Thank you," she said.

"For what?"

"Seeing me. The real me."

Bella had seemed overly happy the past couple of days. At first, Lucas had embraced it, happy to see his sister seemingly getting better, but it eventually became weird. He didn't know if there was such thing as being too upbeat, but if there was, Bella was it.

He was sat in the living room when she front door loudly slammed shut. He got up to see who it was, and saw Bella with her back against the door, panting heavily.

"Bella, you okay?" Lucas asked cautiously.

"Someone followed me home," Bella said breathlessly.

Lucas gently moved Bella out the way of the door and looked through the peephole, seeing nothing but their empty street.

"No one's there, Bella," he reassured. She didn't seem to calm down, so he decided to mention the shopping bag in her hand. "What's that?" He asked. Bella's demeanour changed.

"Oh! This?" She pulled a handbag out, "I bought a new bag!" She now has a huge smile on her face.

"How much was that?"

"Like, a grand."

"A grand?" Lucas was shocked. They weren't exactly broke, but they certainly weren't rich enough to just buy a thousand euro bag for no reason.

"Mhm."

"Where did you get that kind of money?"

"I've been saving! Isn't it pretty?"

"Yeah, but- A thousand euros?!"

"Oh, Lucas, stop being such a buzzkill. I wanted a cute purse, now I have a cute purse. It's not like I need my money for anything else, I don't pay rent."

"I guess that's true."

Bella went into the kitchen and began opening the cupboards, seemingly looking for foods but coming out with nothing, leaving the cupboards open in the process. Lucas went into the kitchen to close them, then sat next to Bella on the couch.

"You feeling okay?" He asked.

"Never better!"

He pulled out his phone

LUCAS
When did you last see Bella?

GUSTAV
Last night
How come?

LUCAS
Do you think she's acting weird?

GUSTAV
I guess a little

LUCAS
I think there's something wrong with her
I know we said that hallucination was bc
of the eating
But I'm really starting to doubt that
She just came home and said someone was
following her
Then started happily yapping about a one
thousand euro bag she bought

GUSTAV
Well what do you think it is?

LUCAS
Idk
And idk how we're gonna get her tested for
shit if she's in this state

GUSTAV
We'll figure it out
We always do

Lucas smiled at his phone before looking back up at Bella, who was looking at herself in the phone camera. "I think I wanna dye my hair."
