Ah. I had assumed they would kill you first.

[burying]

Yeah, wishful thinking.

[ There's a tight smile. ]

Being dead already kind of makes you harder to kill.

[meadqueen]

Did that happen to you? At home?

[No wonder Konstantin was worried.]

[burying]

... No. Well— [ He takes a steadying breath. ]

In the early days, we were hunted and killed. Scientists eventually worked out how to make us... 'normal' again. [ There isn't really an explanation for that, but Kieren's not stupid. Some of those like him had to be tested on, to see if the Neurotriptyline would work. ] ... I guess some of us were technically experimented on. I guess that means me, too — to see if it work on me. Probably.

[ He doesn't like thinking about it. ]

My sister found me. She couldn't bring herself to kill me, so I got handed in and treated.

[meadqueen]

Your sister found you?

[What a horrible thing for both of them, to know she’d seen that.]

And let them do those things to you in a bid to make you well. I am sorry, Kieren. It sounds like a lot to go through.
