"Well, that's a relief." Hal replied.

"And... yes, that's true. There ARE only a select number of people that are even allowed to be in the know when Hollie is in a compromised state." he said further.

"There's you... myself... Vito..." he went on, before they were interrupted.

"And me." her brother added, standing at the entrance of the room, having just arrived.

"........mm." Vincent muttered with a nod.

Angela then left, and Vincent stepped forward.

"...Vincent." Hal said.

"Sharp." Vincent responded.

"....so you know what happened." Hal commented.

"I do." Vincent replied. "And I have a question for you." he continued.

"Do you blame yourself for Hollie's current state?" he asked.

"I do." Hal admitted.

"Good." Vincent responded, before pausing.

"It means you're a good man. But you shouldn't blame yourself." he sighed. "From my understanding, things that were beyond your control happened, and they happened too quickly... I would be remiss to blame you for that." he sighed.
