Loses

- Hey Tassos – Bobby said. He sat next to Tassos which was sitting on the stairs(in their home).

- Hey Bobby... – Tassos replied. He looked sad.

- What’s the matter? – Bobby asked. He put his left hand on Tassos’s right shoulder.

- I just think about... my family – Tassos sobbed.

- Oh.... What were they like? – Bobby asked.

- Mostly nice, although my little sister, Kittey, was pretty energetic – Tassos smiled slightly but covered his face with the sleeve.

- Wait, I recognize that name... – Bobby felt bit off family coming from that name.

- Wait, really? – Tassos looked up at Bobby in confusion.

- Yeah, Kittey and.... Anastasio? – Bobby tried to remind himself of stuff he was told years ago.

- My name was Anastasio – Tassos stated. As much he hated that name, it used to be his.

- Dr. Ollie had told us before about you – Bobby yelled.

- Oh really? – Tassos looked at Bobby like if he’s insane.

- Dr. Ollie... was your father right? – Bobby looked at Tassos with apologetic expression  on his face.

- Probably. Did the one you knew worked in a lab perhaps? – Tassos asked.

- Yeah – Bobby nodded.

- How do you know that? – Tassos asked.

- I lived in it – Bobby stated.

- I don’t remember anymore... – Bobby said.

- Do you perhaps remember anyone else from there? – Tassos asked once again.

- Yeah – Bobby replied.

- Then who? – Tassos looked at Bobby with curiosity.

- my best friend Elias, and my another friend Lina – Bobby bit sobbed while saying Lina’s name.

- Lina? – Tassos looked bit puzzled.

- Well, Avia... – Bobby got interrupted.

- What Lina? – Tassos and Bobby heard from behind them.

They looked behind to see that Neron is standing on top of the stairs.

- Well.... an Avian – Bobby looked bit confused. He didn’t know what was special about that name for Neron.

Neron walked bit down on the stairs and sat almost in between Bobby and Tassos.

-  Did she didn’t have part of her wing perhaps...? – Neron asked.

-  Yea.... you know her? – Bobby was very surprised.

-  What has happened to her? – Neron ignored the question.

-  Ummmm... she kinda... – Bobby felt quite uncomfortable with saying what has happened. The way Neron was staring at him wasn’t helping either.

-  Ummm... she got shot – Bobby finally said. Neron looked shocked.

-  annnd... she died... right in front of me – Bobby sobbed. He didn’t wanted to remember it.

Neron lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. Tassos put his hand on Neron’s shoulder.

- Are you alright? – He asked.

- Why they didn’t told me?? – suddenly Neron lowered his hands.

- Who? – Bobby asked.

- My parents – Neron looked like he’s both mad and upset.

- Huh? – Bobby was confused.

- Was Lina someone... special for you? – Tassos asked.

- She was my sister – Neron once again covered his face with his hands.

- Oh.... I am so... so sorry – Bobby leaned forward Neron. He put his hand near Neron’s right wing. He touched it slightly, which caused Neron to flinch.

- Can you not touch my wings – Neron turned to Bobby. Bobby got bit spooked out, because of Neron had just almost yelled at him.

- Sorry – he Bobby said.

- I’m sorry too – Neron said quietly. He looked sad and confused by what he was told.

- As I look at you now... you do look really much like her – Bobby said quietly.

- Really? – Neron asked.

- Yeah – Bobby nodded.

- We could go and get some warm drink and talk about it futher – Tassos suggested suddenly.

- We could – Bobby said.

- Right? – he looked at Neron.

- Yes – Neron answered.
