Octavian, trying to be child-friendly: Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic group in a given nation.

Zephyr: and she was gifted Octavian.

Zephyr: then she had Ciero.

[eldritch-hall-asylum]

Alright! So, a while ago, I had an Idea for the Windroes being involved in a documentary about Linore Windroe.

...this is the result of that idea, wherein they were interviewed about her.

Question 1: How Would You Describe Linore Windroe?

-

Zephyr: quite sweet, really… she'd let us lie on her bed and sing to us in Greek.

-

Octavian: Well, she was my grandma. You know, she loved us. She loved us all. She was a very loving person.

-

Ciero: she gave me the wrappers for some hard candies once. That was confusing.

-

Favio: I remember one time - she called me her "Elliot"… mom really couldn't handle that.

-

Elspeth: my mother was… beyond words. She was an actress. She was a model, a pro-immigration and anti-segregation activist, a mother… She was so many things. It's hard to find just one that defines her.

-

Question Two: Favourite Linore Windroe Film?

-

Elspeth: Oh, definitely "A Crisp Leaf in Winter". The scene with the train? Gorgeous. She used to sing the songs from it as a lullaby for Mr and my brothers.

-

Zephyr: I'd have to say… "London's Letter". The moment where her character realises what is in the envelope… Well, it changed me as a child.

-

Octavian: I didn't really watch any of Grandma's movies… Like, there were some that I saw, but none that… oh, God. I'm gonna sound really cruel, but… there were none that really held a place in my heart.  

-

Ciero: I remember seeing… She was Ophelia in a production of Hamlet once. It was recorded, and mom showed me it. It really spoke to me.

-

Favio: Oh, anything grandma was in, she turned to gold. You can't really pick when it comes to her. But, "Seamstress's Delight" was my… revival, I shall say, in my darkest time.

-

Question Three: Do You Have a Favourite Memory of Linore?

-

Elspeth: Yes, actually… I was nineteen - Zephyr was only a baby at the time, and I was staying with my mom for some support. I went for a little nap when he was asleep, and when I woke up… right in the corner of my room, my mother was sitting, holding my baby… saying "sweet little Ezzy, my baby boy."

Elspeth: you never think about how much it affected her - my brother's deaths - but it did. To her dying day. 

-

Zephyr: I had brought my son to see her for the first time - me and my husband had - and we sat him with her. She looked at him for a moment, and then… she sang. For the first time in nearly a decade, she sang.

-

Octavian: Yeah, my daughter came with me to visit her once, and grandma just began to softly style her hair. Brushing it and combing it, as if it were able to fall out with a single touch. Olly loved showing her her comics, and she recognised Batman right away. 

-

Ciero: I was about twelve, and we went to see her. I brought my dog with me - a beagle, Marty, my… first best friend - and he lay on her lap the entire time. And in that time, she was the most coherent I ever remember her being. 

-

Favio: well, I was sixteen - I had been out for about… two years. And Mom took us to visit her. Well, of course, I expected the worst. You know, deadnaming, calling me mom's name, but instead, she just looked at me and asked who the handsome gentleman was. 

-

Question Four: What Impact Did Her Death Have On You?

-

Elspeth: I was… lost without her. She was my mom, you know?

-

Zephyr: it was heartbreaking, truly. 

-

Octavian: I think I entered my worst depressive episode in years…

-

Ciero: I… it came at possibly the worst time for me. It just… added a lot of grief onto the pile. And… I broke down. 

-

Favio: …I miss my grandmother, every single day.

-

Question Five: Are There Any Last Words You Wish You Could Tell Her?

-

Zephyr: Thank you, for… everything. 

-

Octavian: I'm still hanging on, Grandma. For you and for the little girl you met.

-

Ciero: I am finally alive again. Happy. I'm now myself.

-

Favio: I made it, Grandma. I'm a designer now.

-

Elspeth: I forgive you.

I was on tiktok, and I scrolled upon this sound...

...naturally, my first thought was Patrick and Ciero.

Incorrect quote!

Under the cut for length.

[Jack is showing Bentley some of xer favourite rock and metal songs]

Bentley: hey, Jack?

Jack K: Yeah?

Bentley: how'd... how'd you find this music?

Jack: aw, man. That's easy. It was your dad.

Bentley: ...my dad?

Jack: Yeah, Bent. Your dad. Uncle Ciero.

Bentley: the guy that looks like sunshine embodied?

Jack: if she does.

Bentley: alright, uh... cool.

[15 Minutes later]

Bentley: hey, dad?

Ciero: hm? Yeah, pet?

Bentley: How did YOU of all people get into rock and metal?

Ciero: Oh, well that's quite simple, really. Patrick got me into it.

Bentley how?

Ciero: Well, he had some cd's that he burned, and used to play them for me when he were going to class.

Bentley: Oh. Okay.

~

[Later]

Bentley: Hey, Pops?

Patrick: Yeah, Bean?

Bentley: how'd you get into like, rock and metal and stuff like that?

Patrick: picked it up from your uncle Octi. He used to play mix tapes when he drove us to school, and it spiralled from there.

Bentley: alright. Thanks, Pops.

[Much later]

Bentley: Yo, Uncle Octi?

Octavian: Yeah, kid?

Bentley: how'd younget into all this rock and metal music?

Octavian: Well... its actually a funny story.

Bentley: is it?

[Octavian grins and nods]

Octavian: Oh, yeah. See, when we were kids, our old man wasn't the best. And your uncle Zeph used music to deal with it.

Bentley: Uncle Zephyr?

Octavian: Yeah. Man can't show emotion, and listened to some of the hardest shit there is. I don't know, maybe it was the only way he felt comfortable expressing himself.

Bentley: Oh... okay. Thanks.

~

[Another while later]

Bentley: heyyyy, uncle Zephy!

Zephyr: what is it?

Bentley: I was talking with Uncle Octavian, and he said... you were the one that got him into metal music.

Zephyr: he did... did he?

Bentley: Yeah. And I was just wanting to know... how did you?

Zephyr: hm? How did I? How did I get into it?

[Bentley nods]

Zephyr: it was my grandma. She had a rolling stones vinyl that she lent to me, and I listened to it. Then, as my interest grew, I amassed a larger collection. And before I knew it, I had several vinyls, cassets, and cds at my disposal.
