Lana's response was not exactly what Ema had expected. There was no sudden recollection, no insistence that no such murder had even occurred, no questioning of Ema's sanity--only an indirect way of showing that the information Ema just provided had been accepted at face-value. Had someone filled Lana in about the possibility that people here were from different time periods? Or was there something Lana wasn't letting on? Ema found herself wishing she could read her sister better; the constant composure was frustrating.
The best Ema could do was respond to what Lana actually said, and hope that it would somehow follow through. "Mia Fey's dead? Why didn't you say anything?" More importantly, why hadn't Mr. Wright said as much? 'I'm sorry, but Ms. Mia Fey no longer works here' hadn't exactly gotten the point across. "If it weren't for Mr. Wright being in her office, I wouldn't have found anyone to defend you at all! And then you would have been found guilty by default--it's like you don't want me to help you!" The outburst was out before Ema could remind herself, once again, that Lana had no idea what the case was even about.
Ema forced herself to reign it in. Screaming out her deep-seeded anger wasn't going to help either of them now. "I-I'm sorry... it's really weird that you don't remember." Out of habit (and a need for the familiar), Ema pulled out her notebook and scribbled: Lana's here but doesn't remember being on trial for murder..... Hm. A date of reference for Lana would probably be good information to have, considering the circumstances; Lana couldn't remember ahead, but Ema could certainly remember back.
"What day is it for you?" The question seemed insane even as she asked it. "It's February 24th, 2017 for me--the second day of your trial."
