[For a moment, Annie doesn't know what to say. She stands there, her hand paused in her hair as she watches him, just takes in this kid who has to be about her age, maybe a bit older. And the things he was saying? It was everything she needed, wanted to hear. She was going to believe him, even if previous experiences said otherwise.

Unable to stop herself, she moved to Percy, wrapping her frail arms around him in a quick hug, before realizing that oh, that's probably an awkward move to do with the half-brother you just met. Dropping her arms, she steps back.] Sorry. I just- wanted to- thank you, Percy. [She smiles waterily at him.] I'll tell you. Because we're friends and siblings.

[She looked down, a hand going back to play with her hair again. Glancing out to the ocean, she looked back at Percy. This was gonna be hard. But she owed him. She told him she would, and he was her brother.] My family... Two years ago... I came home and... Sorry. They were... they were killed. All of them. Then, uhm- [She pauses to pull down the sleeves of her cardigan.] Everyone thinks I'm insane. That I did it.

[And she thinks they're right.]
