That voice… no. No, there’s no way. No possible, earthly— “Dr. Slater. Thank you for finally joining us.” I turn slowly, so slowly, and come face-to-face with that familiar, weathered face. His wiry brows shoot up as he takes in my face, at the blood coating my chest and arms. For a moment, it’s almost as if he doesn’t recognize me—doesn’t recognize the feral creature in front of him. “Lillith. What-what are you doing here? Why are you with these people?”
Tell me why I couldn’t recognize his name earlier 😭
