WESSEX
the wraith
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
Occidendum. Admittedly far less familiar with children than with adults, Wessex takes a deep dive into her brain to try and remember names and faces. Faces are much, much, easier - but even these girls’ escape her as she tries to find a likeness. There was a large family out here in the Outskirts that she didn’t see much, oh, what were their names? Wrinkling her nose in an effort to recall correctly, the Wraith replies, “Daughters of Phil and… Flo...rence?”
Now that she thinks about it, how long has it been since she’s seen the pair? No longer tasked with taking care of her people (a people who voted her out, but that’s neither here nor there), Wessex has avoided making the rounds she might have usually made at this time of year.
And they let these two Ascend? As children? Was it an act of teenage rebellion?
Something isn’t right.
“So young…” she murmurs, thinking aloud. Not that she can't work with that, but ah, the growing they would miss, the experiences, the regrets and anger that might come! What could prompt such an extreme act? “Is everything alright at home?” The Voice wouldn’t change anyone who didn’t want it, but watching Sam and Nate tailspin in their heads, she can’t help but ask. Was it about being able to feed them? If so, she needs to speak to Rex, let her know there are people still starving on her watch.

and from your lips she drew
the hallelujah
