Fuming, Ethan swallowed an unwisely snappish reply and bit his tongue. He waited until he was calm enough to be civil before speaking.
"I know... they swear often. I just picked it up." He paused. How could anyone possibly think he belonged?
"You're the only one thinks that, you know." he said quietly. "I'm scared. Always scared. Afraid to leave the room half the time." He groaned and collapsed down into a crouch, looking perfectly miserable.
"They scare me. Crow and Julian. They've been nothing but good to me- well, Julian at first was extremely threatening, but... I don't know. I thought for sure I'd just wake up by now in a strait jacket."
He looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Sometimes, I just wish that's what would happen. I want to wake up."
I made him blush?
Score.
Crow grinned devilishly and looked away, as though politely. She had a good idea why Rabid liked making Julian embarrassed. It was kinda funny.

Lenore peered over Shivali to watch Ethan take off, shaking her head.
"Dammit, here we go again."
Crow watched the boy disappear back into the building.
"Ah, jeez. Kid's been in an awful mood for days... I feel bad for 'im. He's been going all out trying to contact people from home..." She sighed, shaking her head. "No one'll answer anything. He looked ready to kill himself last night."
The afternoon was definitely taking a sudden, drastic fall.

Len sighed, copying Crow.
"I really do to, it's just... ever'time we try to be normal, somebody makes everyone else feel bad. It's like a pattern or something."
Ethan was planning things out in his head the moment he got inside.
I don't care. They don't want to talk to me, fine. Forget it. I'm here now, and they can all jump off a cliff for all I care, he thought stubbornly. The 'they' he was referring to was his own family, of course. Quite frankly he was fed up missing them so badly. If they weren't even going to acknowledge the dozens of desperate messages he'd left, well...
Their loss.
Digging into his pocket in sudden inspiration, he drew out the rosary. He looked at it a long moment before smashing it together in his hands and throwing it off to the side.
Though a minute later, he raced back and picked it up, muttering hasty apologies and untangling the string. Alright, he admitted to himself, so he wasn't quite ready to move on from everything from his old life.
