Willow Creek

Not many households are awake at 3 in the morning. Of course, not counting the vampire that might live down the road or the shop that runs all day. But if you’re a corpo lady who’s trying to steer her nephew in the right direction, you’d be up at this time too.
Since her brother-in-law didn’t give a damn about her sister, Joyce decided to take matters into her own hands. Her first course of action was to drag her lovely nephew to her office for no apparent reason.

keyboard clacking sounds
Hades: heavy sigh, tapping his foot
Joyce: Awfully impatient there. Got someone you’re waiting to see?
Hades: Who would I be wanting to see?!
Joyce: Don’t tell me you’ve broken up already!!
Hades: Urgh… imo (auntie), for what exact reason did you call me out here this early?
Joyce: It’s just 3 am! This is normal for you!
Hades: Not when I’m sat here staring into space!

Joyce: Look, Hades…things are up in the air. Your parents aren’t bothering to raise you properly. Hell, you said your mother’s been out of the picture for several months!
Hades: Yeah, and only now you’re giving a damn, imo!!!
Joyce: Only because your dad isn’t doing a damn thing! Char is my sister and I’m pulling at all these threads to find her!
Hades: Yeah. I get that. So why am I here????
