*Luke looked at Cora. But it made sense didn't it? Here by herself, going out of her mind wondering what the ******** was going to drop by and do whatever the ******** he liked. Being stuck in this place without sunlight or even a clock to know how much time had passed?*
*But look at her. She was acting like a ********' zombie.*
*definitely* No. No, I don't think so. This s**t is the -last- thing you need right now.

:::She furrowed her brow... part of her becoming frsturated again:::
I don't think you understand. Humans born of my kind of descent are prone to mental instability and this treatment is the common application for the symptoms I've been exibiting. This is what I'm supposed to do, or else...
:::but what else was there. No one in the Brink was going to process her... except maybe the Seraphim, and it wouldnt be because she had lost my mind. But what good would she be to anyone if she was out of her mind:::
I'll become unstable.

*Well, Luke had news for her. If she was taking psychotropic drugs, that was the clearest sign she was unstable.*
Cora, you walking around here like a zombie isn't going to help anything.
*It wasn't... It wasn't safe here, and if she was drugged up out of her mind, she wouldn't even be able to protect herself if she had to.*
That may be what people did in your time, but you left there, remember? Because of s**t like -- *motions to the vials* -- this that they put you on.

It makes me feel better. I don't feel bad anymore.

*And watching her, Luke made a decision.* All right. Where's the rest of these things?

:::Cora knew what he wanted to do even before he said anything:::
Luke... I never run out of drugs. The guest rooms... provide us with everything.
:::She would have felt bad about this, except that ...she couldn't feel much at all, and of course she didnt see anything wrong with using drugs. Luke had allowed her to use drugs on him multiple times... why was he challenging her now?:::

Until my neurochemical balance is restored... yes.

*Luke shakes his head. He takes the vials from off the table, as well as the one in his hand. He says definitively.* No. You can't do that.

:::Cora doesn't motion to stop him. She just watches, and after a second she says flatly:::
I don't understand why you're upset. You've never stopped me from using neutrotransmitters on you when you're in pain. You let me induce you even the last time I visited your time...
:::Everytime Luke had a bump or bruise or scratch, Cora was right there to treat him with, of course, drugs. This cry against them made no sense to her:::

No, that's different. *holds up the vials* That other stuff you gave me didn't put me a walking coma.
*says again, as if it's a simple fact she'll have to accept* You can't take these.

These effects don't last forever... they're just until my endorphines can catch up. I really don't think the primative medical science you're accustomed to can help you to understand...
:::Cora did not at all say it in a condescending way. She said it entirely factually, as though it were the simple truth of the matter:::

I understand that you don't need to be doped up on lithium while you're in here. *Luke looks around at all the books still floating around him.... Apparently her power still worked, even though she was high on this s**t. But wasn't she coming down off of it?*
What if something happens in here, huh? And I'm not around to--- *He sees himself fading.* s**t...
*Luke fades from the Brink.*

:::As he faded away Cora thought about... what if the Seraphim showed up right then and there:::
:::She wouldn't care, Cora watched Luke fade away, expressionless at him impending abscence:::
Whatever happens, happens...
:::She turned back to her magazine, and put her finger back in the spot she had left off...:::
Damn. :::She said half heartedly, keeping her place wasn't helping her read any better:::

**Enter Luke**
*Luke appears at one of the tables. He smirks. He was just sitting down at one of the libraries in his own time.*
*Luke searches the library for Cora, but she's nowhere to be found. Luke stands by the table. Then he reaches into his bookbag. He pulls out a small pack of photographs and a video tape.*
*He digs around in his backpack and pulls out yellow post-its. He writes "To: Cora From: Luke.*
*Then he adds: See you soon. He sticks to this the cover of the video tape.*
*He sits back down at the table to start studying, when he appears back in his own library in Philly.*
**Exit Luke**
