 * Lucia's tearing up a decent amount now--probably due to a lot of stress.*

Y-You... you... ruined him... you took everything from-... from him... You all did... Made him suffer!... He-... he told me about what you did to him... what that did to him afterwards... what its s-still doing to him!... And you-... you wouldn't even remember him...


 * she takes on a hushed tone, barely whispering now.*

... what you-... what you did to my father...

=Flashback- Several Years Before the Collapse; Unknown Abandoned  Establishment=


 * Phil leans back in an old chair--at least he's not unwillingly intangible at bad times... his voice is calm, but his eyes... the look in his eyes simply echoes with something... something that a man can never entirely come back from... Lucia sits in another chair across from him... Phil is in the middle of remnicensing about that night...*

...I couldn't even recognize myself... and the blood, so much blood... I'm glad you weren't around then Lucia... there are things I hope you never see in your lifetime... the things I've seen... they haunt me... my own body gone limp... torn... pierced... and then... I couldn't feel anymore Lucia... I couldn't feel the warmth of the sun on my face or the cool trickle of water down my throat... I couldn't ever enjoy my family's holiday dinners... could never really feel any sort of comfort afterwards... all I can feel now is a faint, nagging exhaustion... and for all those years before I finally brought you into this world... I had noone...

=Present=


 * Hugo just gets down on one knee, stroking a hand along the heiress's face, wiping at tears...*

Calm down Lucia... it's all right...


 * His gaze turns from Lucia with concern to GKF with stern dissaproval.*

[Welp, emotional breakdown. Had to try it. :P

Also, before the question arises: in human terms Lucia is probably just hitting 14 or 15... although the flashback would take approx. 27 years ago, machines age much slower--rather intentionally given Phil's--or as he's known within the EOS: Emperor Phillip I's--own strange sort of mixed-blessing imortality. At the time when he finzlly explained certain events... she probably would have been more at a 11-12 age level. Perhaps traumatizing, but necessaray.]
