"We had walked all the way to her apartment. At the bottom of the stairs, Agnes leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek and hugged me to her, wishin... me again a Merry Christmas, and thanking me for escorting her home. I stood at the bottom of the stairs, and waited until she was safely inside her apartment. I left after I saw she was inside and had turned on her lights. On the walk home, I thought about what she had said to me. I knew, if I pressed her, that Agnes would let me do more things. They told me about some of the routines and things Ana told me about the toilet routines “If you need to shit say it out loud and they will come and take you to the toilet.” I asked about what to do if I needed to pee. After I said that they looked at each other then looked at me then looked down. I looked down too and I noticed there was a drain and I asked them what its for Ana said “every morning and evening they wash us down with the shower overhead but its also used for when we need to. Tell Steve that I'm proud to be his brother."Gwen returned home and managed a restful nap. When she came down for dinner, the news was on television and her family was watching it closely."The head of the FBI in the state is giving a news conference. He's going to tell what law enforcement has found out about the attack yesterday," responded Ted to a question from Gwen. "He's coming on now." The terrorist attack on a local high school yesterday was a terrible event. History will reflect that. Egill leaned over and whispered. “This is the Commanding officer of the PSI Corps and rumors have it she is the most talented Psionic user alive. Now that there are two Narth on our table it is perhaps an overstatement but Algear and the Narth speaks of her with the utmost respect.”She crossed her arms. “I don’t really care who she or who anyone is.”She tried to find someone else to be responsible for her feeling miserable and lashed out at the Old Man. Even as she did it she knew it was wrong.
