'I want to know who's responsible.' Oswald's voice is somber and quiet as we stand next to the unconscious Ethan's bed. It appears that Ethan has been badly beaten and now Oswald is seemingly shaken by the young man's condition. 'Yes, Oswald, we are going to do everything we can to find who did this.' I reassure him. 'Everything is the minimum. They have hurt something that's mine, now they have to pay for it.' 'Of course, Oswald.' 'Could you leave now? I want to be alone with him for a moment.' this gives me a pause. He's not planning something sinister against Ethan, right? I hesitate. 'Uhm… Oswald, are you sure everything's going to be fine?' 'Of course it will be, my dear. And the sooner we find the culprit the better. So please, go now.' 'Uhm… Alright, Oswald, you're right, I'm going to go and arrange a manhunt.' and albeit reluctantly, I leave. I just hope he's not going to do...
cw: violence 'We need to send word out to the streets, that we are looking for Ogilvy.' Oswald tells Lili. 'But noone needs to know, that Ethan has woken up from the coma.' 'Alright Oswald, you can count on me.' Lili says then glances at Ethan. 'But I believe, the boy is owing me an apology.' 'Why would I?' Ethan asks. 'Exactly, why would he?' Oswald replies. Oh no, I hope Lili won't tell Oswald that we met Ethan before without his knowledge. He would be so mad! 'Because the previous time he was rude to me.' says Lili. 'Right, Sam?' Lili, no!

'Come again?' Oswald says. 'I'm sorry! For calling you an Oompa Loompa.' 'Not bad, for a start.' Lili says. She looks stern, but a s...
'Oswald. Can we go home already?' I ask him as we are attending one of those gatherings that none of us like but for some reason Oswald always claims that these are good for building connections. Well, I don't know about that anymore, but if it makes him happy then sure. 'Be more patient, Sam, we haven't been at any of these parties for a long time.' 'Okay, Oswald, but please don't turn around.' I say as I see the newest guest arriving. 'Why not? What happened?' Oswald asks, but before I could answer the new attendant notices us. It's Ethan with none other than Barbara Gordon at his side. 'Father? Is that you?' Ethan asks when he approaches us. This makes Oswald flinch, then he turns around. 'This is me, Ethan, your son. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this moment.' he looks happy, although I am not sure if this happiness is genuine. 'Oh, uhm, hello Ethan.' Oswald says as he is trying to stay c...
