Day One | Saturday | November 25th

"You're not my cousin," Virgil said, laughing slightly as he leaned back against the wall behind him, "Janus doesn't talk to his family and Remy is the only cousin from Remus's family."

Something in Emile's eyes flickered at the mention of Remy but Virgil chose not to mention it as the other shook his head slightly, "No Virgil, I mean your real cousin. You really don't remember? I'm Uncle Rick's kid, his oldest? We would share a bed every time you slept over."

Virgil seemed to be remembering so Emile continued, "We always had corresponding Halloween costumes. And whenever we ate fruit snacks, I would give you all my red ones and you'd give me your green ones and-"

"I know," Virgil said, cutting Emile off, he rubbed at his temples. This was going to give him a headache, Virgil had repressed all those memories. He'd pushed so many of them so far down that it literally hurt to be thinking about them again, "You can't be my cousin though."

"Why?"

"You said your uncle Rick's kid?" Emile nodded, "Uncle Rick's last name is Oliver. Just like my mom. Meaning his kids would also have the last name, Oliver."

"That's me," Emile said with an awkward smile, "Emile Apollo Oliver Picani"

Virgil blinked at him, "Are you married? You're only like a year older than me, can't be married"

"Two years and actually it's not uncommon for people to get married at around this age," Picani explained, "And no, I'm not married. Uhm, dating has been a little bit weird lately... But I changed my name, I took my mom's last name."

"Why? Did something happen, did Uncle Rick turn out to be some huge jerk or something?"

Emile frowned, "No and I don't appreciate my dad being called a jerk," Virgil shrugged apologetically as Emile continued, "She died, my mom, when I was fifteen. Really took us all by surprise. Dad... Dad was really shaken by it, kind of shut down for a while. When I was eighteen, I took her name. I wanted to honor her, seemed like the best idea."

"Oh," Virgil replied slowly, "Sorry, I didn't know."

"I didn't expect you to," Emile replied, "You weren't there, there was no way you could have known."

"H-how'd she die?" Virgil asked hesitantly.

Emile looked at Virgil with a sad smile, "Car accidents really seem to be the top way to go in our family, don't they?"

"Oh." 

Emile nodded, "Y-yeah, Uhm, but that's enough of that. Let's talk about..." Emile looked down at the clipboard he was holding, "Oh, it says here you've been diagnosed with anxiety. That means it's hereditary then, alright, let's talk about that."

"Hereditary?"

"Yup it means-"

"I know, what it means," Virgil said, "I just- didn't know my parents had it too. B-but can we go back to you saying you're my cousin?"

Emile frowned and put the clipboard down next to him, "You don't believe me?"

"I don't remember you." Virgil said, "My cousins were nothing like you. It's been over ten years.I haven't even heard from anybody in my biological family since high school. The chances of any of that being true are probably super small. And honestly, it's really not so much that I don't believe you but that I don't trust you. You helped people kidnap me."
