Caitlyn Kiramman and Vi in “Unfinished Business”

Caitlyn Kiramman

[enters her room, surprised] We'll... present our case to the council, tonight.

Vi

[examining Caitlyn's detective notes] You did all this yourself? Without even going down there? And I thought Powder could get obsessed. [lays back as Caitlyn approaches the bed and sits next to her]

Caitlyn Kiramman

What happened to her... it's not your fault. [lays down]

Vi

When my parents were... still alive, me and Powder used to share a bed like this. Except, maybe half this size. We played a game where we'd pretend to be bigger and bigger monsters. So she would say, "I'm a slug monster with venom for ooze!" and I would say "Well, I'm a slug-eating crab with razor spikes!" [She and Caitlyn gradually turn to face one another] Sometimes, I... I'd get carried away, and she'd get scared. I didn't want her to start crying and wake my parents up, so... I pretended to chase my own monsters away. I'd say, "No monster's gonna get you when I'm here"... Then a real monster showed up. [closes her eyes, curls into a fetal position] And I just ran away. I left her. [Caitlyn gently touches her cheek, and Vi takes her hand]
