Taking a slow breath, Brandon reached out and lightly touched Charlotte's shoulder "I… understand, Sister. I don't hate you…"
Charlotte's eyes flickered toward his hand and a soft smile curved her lips, as if the weight she had been carrying alone for years had finally been lifted.
Elize's eyes softened at the sight and she brushed a hand over Brandon's back, "See? He understands."
Brandon's gaze remained on Charlotte, "So… your other personalities… they just randomly swap with you?" he asked, trying to piece together how such a thing could happen.
Charlotte shook her head quickly, "It's not random. If they… want something, they force their way into my subconsciousness."
Her fingers tightened slightly over one another in her lap, "Most of the time, I resist. I try really hard. But sometimes they push past me and take over my body."
Brandon's eyes darkened and his gaze lowered to the floor 'That will be trouble…'
