Ra's Links
Her poor little sister, who's seen way too much for a ten year old. It certainly.. had an effect. She tries to eat spiders, she giggles while watching news about more and more catastrophies, she took in that horror that kept Ra up for five nights like it was Teletubbies. But the normal stuff still upsets her, like dropping ice cream or losing her favourite bow, so maybe she's just.. not developed enough to understand the weight of those things. She still cries over Pat and dad and mom a lot..
Sis! Sis is great! Always there, getting her pink things she likes, always wipes away her tears, feels.. almost like mommy! Though mommy was prettier.. And Ra is always tired, and often smells of sweat, and she's really quiet, too. But that's alright - Cleo still loves her. They need each other and they need to love each other - after all they're all the family they have left!
Uncle Riley! He was delightful, she remembers!! She was a stupid lil' kid back then, but she remembers he always would put up with her and play with her when the adults couldn't. He was the only not-boring one. She remembers he was stuttering quite a lot, which was funny to her then, and now it's.. um.. kinda. Adorable. He was studying to be a vet, too. Now he is an actual one - she saw his office. She even saw him a few times and he.. he was.. well, he looks great for um.. over thirty.. guy?
Technically, since he's their only living relative, and her and Cleo are not adult yet.. should he not be taking care of them..?
He remembers her the most - of course because she's the oldest, and at the time he and his father visited the Nadirs, Ra was in the age of 'dragging uncle Riley off to play doctor and examine every single plushie she had in her room because she could not yet play with her newborn siblings'. Adorable girl! And frankly he was kinda thankful - certainly making a fool of yourself in front of a child would not hurt as much as awkwardly sitting with family and not knowing what to say and stuttering on every word. He believed her to be dead as well, but.. Her body was never found. So there is a chance, right?
Younger brother, died a tragic death together with their parents - squashed under rubble of an entire apartment complex. Absolutely horrifying to watch. Yet somehow, after she noticed what was left of them, she stayed there for an.. entire hour? Two? Maybe more. Or maybe less. Maybe it was five minutes. Time was experiencing technical difficulties at that time. She misses him, and the images won't leave her head, but she has to stay strong - for Cleo, who's still there, and who misses him and parents even more than Ra.
She's taking care of his sister, and he.. vaguely.. remember her..? She was.. nice..? Right? She was with him sometimes. But it's all a blur. He can't even remember her name. ...But as long as his sister is happy with her.. it means she can't be a bad person! So.. he's alright with her!
