How did he die? Or ... how does he die, I guess, all things considered.

Back then, it looked like he killed himself, but considering everything that's happened, who the fuck knows. There're so many vigilantes running around Miami these days that if someone just beat us to him, it wouldn't fucking surprise me.

... What, like Batman or something?

Kind of, except they're real, regular guys who just kill people that they see on the news, which I'm pretty sure Batman's against.

And one of them kills Brian.

Exactly. That's the new theory, anyway--I spent so fucking long trying not to think about him that it didn't even occur to me that that's really what might've happened, until I saw him here and everything got shoved in my goddamn face again.

I know how you feel. The guy in the recording? He ... Just trust me when I say I've been there.

Looks like we both got the shit end of the luck stick--which definitely sucks ass because you're what, 17? 18? You shouldn't have to be dealing with this kind of crap.

Yeah. [ watch as she doesn't specify which because i moved her birthday ... after she celebrated it. 8) /shades over shades. ] But, I mean, it doesn't matter how old someone is, I guess. Some people just have ... crappy luck. Or crappy destiny.

At least it's over for both of us, right? We can just keep an eye on Brian and what he does to the people here and know he's going to get what's coming to him.

[fff oh Heroes and your wacky timeframe]

That's true--it's not like there's a minimum age limit on getting attacked by psychos and shit like that, but there should be.

Yeah, we'll do that. [Except that DEXTER PROBABLY WARNED HIM X( but that would bring up awkward questions if she mentioned that and she wasn't going to put Dexter in that position.]

Would it be weird if I said as much as I hate it, I'm still glad it was me instead of someone else? The first time Sylar -- the guy in the recording. The first time he came after me, someone else got hurt because he thought she as me. That was ... a lot worse.

No, it's not weird--I get it--you'd rather have it happen to you than feel responsible for some other poor sap taking the heat. That's pretty fucking noble--and I don't normally say shit like that to describe people.
