Vivi?
Maman, are you ok?
It's ok, Vivi. I'm holding up. Are you alright? It's been a few months now.
I get bad sometimes.
Please take care of yourself.
Same to you Mum. I love you.
I know. I love you too dear. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat well. I know you haven't been.
OK Maman. I promise.
Good girl.
I miss him.
Me too Vi. I miss him too.
Why him? Why Brendan? He was such a good kid.
Social media is cruel. Your brother was always sensitive. People can be unkind. You know that, darling. Hang on, your dad's coming to talk.
Vienna! Are you alright? Can you hear me?
Hi Papa. I can hear you.
Thank goodness.
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
Papa, Maman. I have to tell you something. I just need to get it off my chest. Please don't judge me, OK?
Alright.
I feel so guilty. The album I wrote for Brendan? I felt so proud of it. I thought those were the best songs I ever wrote. Does that make me happy he died? So I could write good songs?
No Vivi. It's fine. It's natural to feel proud of your work, and you should be. We still love you, no matter what has happened.
I love you, little papillion.
Papa, Maman, don't make me cry again...
