Malachi:
I’m 14 now.
Malachi:
I’ve gone to visit her. Akielah, she hasn’t come with me.
Malachi:
Some… sometimes…
Malachi:
Nobody outside of my family has seen it. The most anyone knows about when I was in the hospital is that there was an accident.
Like basically an adult then
You’re not going to push her to come?
How have those interactions with your sister gone? Has she apologized?
How often?
And no one questioned you about that accident?
Malachi:
Yes, I went to college.
2024
Malachi:
Yes, I majored in business. I did work for my dad while I was in school, but once I got my degree I could work separate from my dad.
Malachi:
Still an Ivy League school, but not quite. Columbia actually.
Ria:
Wait, what the f^^k are you talking about?
Remember, Ria doesn’t actually know about the game or her family’s connection to it
Jezebel:
I don’t know about that.
Jezebel:
I have, and I just, I had to study harder. There was no option, I had to make sure my grades got better.
Jezebel:
I can only hope
Jezebel:
I… I stay busy.
Jezebel:
My grandma is a surgeon, specifically a neurosurgeon, and the head of the department actually.
My mom, she does travel writing mainly, but she’s also done some other kinds of magazine articles too.
Jezebel:
I don’t know if I’d say the most popular.
Jezebel:
No, I don’t want to disappoint my mom and grandma… I hate disappointing them… but graphic design and marketing is what I’m interested in…
Jezebel:
I… I don’t… I don’t know…
Jezebel:
But, if I get what he’d like, then he’ll be happier with me, and I want to do what he likes.
Jezebel:
I just, I want him to be happy.
Jezebel:
I guess I’ve been with a couple who have had a bit of a temper…
Jezebel:
They like Ryan, but how could they not. He’s charming, and he always knows just what to say. And I know they like how his family is pretty well respected and well off with money.
I don’t think I ever figured that one out actually
Jezebel:
I… I don’t know… I don’t want to know either… just… nothing good…
Jezebel:
Why… why would you ask that…?
Jezebel:
I… I don’t know if I have any better options…
So what do you do now, Kai? Work for a company that somehow your dad owns distantly? that is what he does - right? Is the majority partner in most businesses?
Why didn’t you get a girlfriend from Columbia then 
Actually on that note, how old were you when you started dating Hensley (is that her name?)
god damn it ria
Oh… yeah Daniel’s your biological half brother
I mean… clearly he’s not gentle with you…
Um… go find that daniel kid you were friends with
Malachi:
I’ve done work with more than a few companies. Sure, some of them are ones my dad works with or has connections to, but not all of them.
Malachi:
Who said I never had a girlfriend from school?
Malachi:
I was 21 when I started dating Henley.
Malachi:
Not really, but I’m not really a kid anymore either.
Malachi:
I’ve tried, but it’s just been a tough year.
Malachi:
It’s been fine, but… sometimes they have her on a lot of medicines and she’s not really herself.
Malachi:
It doesn’t matter.
Malachi:
I’ve had a few people ask, but they haven’t been really probing questions.
What… do you even do Kai? Like…. Are you a consultant or something
What’s your salary
Did you 
Jezebel:
What? How is that possible?
Jezebel:
It’s not that big of a deal…
Jezebel:
I haven’t talked to him in years. He probably doesn’t even remember me anyway.
How is it not possible? You went to the same school your mom did (for a bit) and the man your mom had sex with on prom night also still lives in the area and sent his son to school
His son being Dan
It’s a pretty big deal Jez. Does he even satisfy you or does he only worry about himself?
Irrelevant - you’re family
also he has photographic memory so trust me, he remembers everyone
Jezebel:
I just… I don’t know what to say…
Jezebel:
Can we just, not talk about this… please?
Jezebel:
We don’t exactly know each other anymore, we might as well be strangers at this point.
Jezebel:
But its not like we’re friends still. We were friends for just a little while in elementary school, but we’ve both grown up since then, with completely different lives.
When his taste in women become her, yes yes she will 
“Noooo you don’t get it. You don’t know my mom, she’ll be all sweet and then some how get you to tell her everything I told you and then I’ll GET GROUNDED. Nope - you’re not getting it out of me.”
“You know what, okay I will.”
“errrrmmmm a few months ago and nah. We’ve been best friends forever - nothing’s really awkward anymore”
I’m going to take that as a no. Have any of your boyfriends ever tried to please you and not themselves?
I wonder what happened to everyone else in this life
Like… what’s going on with Daniel and Ziah and Riker and Kai and everyone else
