Badou frowned, realizing too late that he'd said something stupid, but apologies weren't really at the forefront of his mind. Heine hadn't bitched him out for being late, so something must be really wrong. "The kids? What are you--"

Lily..? Oh. Shit. Lily. That was a name he actually remembered. Heine seemed to mumble it whenever he got depressed, which was pretty frequently, and he'd told the story not long ago. Badou specifically remembered something about ripping her apart. Not that he was completely surprised: this place could bring anyone back, and that girl had the same things done to her as Heine.

"They don't take them anywhere." Badou replied carefully. "They get let out, same as us."

If Heine had seen her dragged off for experiments he wouldn't be standing in the hallway right now, so it must have been during the day, which meant she probably wasn't an institute monster either. This was gonna suck. Badou cursed under his breath.

"We could head back to the women's wing, but if she's leaving her room tonight chances are she's already out."
