Grey tells Indigo, "I don't want to talk about . . . what happened . . . right now. I want to talk about how beautiful you are." Indigo can't help but be flattered. "And I want to talk about the other thing that happened yesterday, what happened between us. I know it's odd, our feelings about each other; I've been fighting them for some time now, since you became an adult, actually. Don't worry; I never had feelings like that at all before then! And I have not felt like this about anyone in the 100 years I have been alive, just some puppy love as a teen, but otherwise, I didn't need anyone but my family. Until the past few months. All of my wants and desires revolve around you, and I think some of yours revolve around me. Tell me, Indigo. Do you love me like I love you?"
When Grey found out about Cyan, he reacted in an unusual way. He didn't run up to see the urn and cry; instead he just got this determined look on his face and acted like nothing was wrong. In fact the first thing he did was take a book of fairy tales and start reading a story from it to Rosemary, who also seemed to be taking Cyan's death in stride, as many kids do.
It helped, a little, to move Cyan's urn to a place of honor beside Green's, and put up the picture that Grey had painted of Cyan a while back. They didn't want to wake up Grey to tell him. They knew this would be awful for him, to lose his little brother, that he was always so protective of, and who had shared the last 100 years with him.
Cadet came running when he heard the horrible scream, which was different from the scream of delight usually heard from the mausoleum when a Knowledge Sim like Cyan saw a ghost. Cadet was too late to try to save Cyan. Besides, he could see that Daryl was still there, laughing about his success, and Cadet doesn't like seeing ghosts like Cyan and Grey do!
That night, Cyan made the fatal mistake of painting by himself in the mausoleum! He loved seeing ghosts, but his older brother Grey always told him to not go ghost chasing alone, that he heard you could get scared to death! Cyan thought that was silly and decided he wanted to experience the ghosts alone, that it would be creepier that way. And he was right! It was so creepy when Daryl jumped out of his painting that he was instantly scared to death, his heart stopped forever.
A few days later, Indigo is stunned when her Great-Great Uncle Grey flirts with her! She is even more stunned to realize that she wanted it to happen! (Grey had been spinning up nothing but wants to do with Indigo, especially flirting with her! I thought I'd see what would happen, and in the next pic, you'll see what that something was!)
