[He doesn't want to be seen, not right now. But he also can't let this go either. Michael's tone is soft, gentle.]

That's untrue. I offered Anna my protection and gave it when she faced the Shadow of our Father. She stayed with me for a short amount of time after. [Not that she stayed long but still.]

Before her last return home I visited with her. We spoke of family matters. [Which he's not talking about now.] I also was with her after her return and she wasn't what she once was anymore. My protection was once again offered if she so needed it. And as my sister sank so far into her insanity as to kill someone, I saw her then. I tried to reach out to her but she was beyond me. [So he tried to kill her. Again.]
