Mary
----------

Mary unfortunately wasn't able to stay with y/n as she needed to fill out reports and files, she cared for the child but also knew how important the work was to the earth

She didn't want to leave y/n with buck but she trusted Collingwood enough to keep the kiddo safe, and Collingwood seemed like a very kind woman

She sighed as she moved into the cafeteria in search of a cup of coffee, she was hopelessly addicted to the stuff and couldn't work like she did without it

As she headed for the pot she found herself running straight into the gaunt MTF she had met before,  Lawrence

Lawrence: oh hey dr. Collins,  how'd that visit with the kiddo go?

Mary looked into his sunken in eyes, they looked almost blind, how could he see?

Mary: it was amazing,  and some new things were learned

Lawrence: such as?

Mary thought about saying it was to classified to talk about but then decided she liked Lawrence enough to just tell him

Mary: y/n is able to speak a sort of anomalous language that the human mind can't comprehend, I can't describe how it sounds,  even trying to remember hurts my brain, but y/n has no problem speaking it and seems not to notice when switching between that language and English,  almost like when describing some things they don't know an English equivalent so they switch to the other language

Lawrence simply laughed a little as he couldn't fully keep up with everything she said
Lawrence: its always pretty fun seeing researchers getting excited over a theory

Mary wanted to roll her eyes but a laugh came instead

Mary: yeah, although something about the language just scratches a weird part of my brain, like a memory buried just far enough that I can't reach it....

She realized she was rambling before she smiled and laughed nervously

Mary: anyways, I best be off, today's a....difficult day for me

Lawrence: oh, whats today

Mary:: the anaversery of meeting.....

She bit her tongue hard, stopping the name from touching her lips

Mary: of meeting someone I loved very much..... I miss em very dearly, chaos bastards!

Lawrence: oh...... I'm sorry, listenI know the toll this job can take, especially when it makes us loose people,  but we're protecting so much that it and it can get overwhelming,  best thing to do is honor the dead and do our best to protect the rest

Mary nodded, it was a good speech but it hardly made the pain she felt any better

Buck
----------
Dr. Buck was completely stumped on the predicament of y/ns mysterious vocabulary, the anomalous language was as of yet untranslatable by any means,  and the voiced effect of said language was proving an even bigger problem,  nobody could even listen to it without succumbing  to the adverse effects,  what was worse was the effect even carried over into video and audio recording

Buck: damnit

Collingwood: the language thing?

Both the scientist were currently out eating in the cafeteria while buck struggled with this current predicament

Buck:...... yes

Collingwood: well your never going to figure it out if you don't eat, cone on, eat your.......

Collingwood had to stop and gesture at bucks bowl

Collingwood: whatever that stuff is

Buck: its oatmeal

Collingwood:you don't even have barries or sugar, thats depressing Buck

Buck chose not to dignify that with a response

Y/n
-------

Y/n waited inside their sell as they found themselves completely alone, they couldn't even feel the eyes from the hidden window anymore

Y/n: hello?

No answer of course,  y/n sighed as they felt a cold pit start to grow in their heart. That same pit they had felt when the had lived alone, after the death of their Parents at the hands of.....

Y/n: no..... I can't think about them, they ruined everything

The pit felt just a little colder and maybe a small bit bigger

???: ▘▟▔▔▀ ▊▝▘ ▞▊▇ ▝▀▀▔ ▋▇▜ ▜▋ ▇▊▝▘▌

Y/n jumped out of terror and let out a yelp as the familiar words seemed to be whispered into both ears at the same time but with a slight delay on one side

The loud click of a door lock also made y/n jump, the large heavy door was flung open as a most unusual soldier entered

The helmet this soldier wore seemed to contract with the others, mostly in part due to the glowing green goggles and full black body covering them head to toe, They didn't look like the normal guards who brought y/n food from time to time

Soldier: hello, sorry I'm late

Y/n looked at them in confusion,  the mask they wor must have had a filter since it completely masked the gender of the already mysterious person

Y/n: i-i-i....ummmm, w-who are you?

Agent clover: my name is agent clover, I've been assigned to guard you as directed by one of the 05 council, I was just about to come in anyways but I got sidetracked with a chaos insurgency

Y/n: oh.....sorry
Y/n didn't know what a single word of that meant but was too scared to ask, but y/n had a feeling that it couldn't be good

Mary
----------

Later,  much later Mary drove, she drove to a place she visited as often as she could bear to go, a peaceful place now covered in the shadow of night

She exited her old pick-up and walked the rest of the way until she found the small cross at the top of the hill

She kneeled down and looked upon the objects that accompanied the grave at all times, things that any normal person would find incredibly odd but that she cherished simply because they belonged to her beloved

Mary: hello, its been awhile since we've talked darling, I miss you love, im doing something important,  something to help someone else, like the things you would always do......

She rapidly whipped a tear from her eye but knew that the dam she kept up was about to crack and burst

Mary: its almost like what our plan had been for once we got married, and their even anomalous to, just like we talked about,  im gonna save them, and I'm gonna do what we talked about, I love you ⍜⋏⏃, now and forever

She placed her hand on the gravestone and passed her fingers over the text that showed her past lovers name, tears beginning to stream down her face and through a chokeing sobbing voice she began to sing,  to sing their song

Mary: 🎵we'll meet again,  don't know where, d-dont know when, but I know we'll meet again,  some sunny day🎵

At the last word she shook with tears, this song should have been her reminder of her best day alive,  a reminder the of her happiest moments, now it only reminded her of the loss if her soul mate to jaws of death
