Okay, and a headcanon, cuz why not?

So while Tam is with the Neverseen, one of the first things they do is make sure he can't escape. How do they do this? By making holograms of Linh and all his other friends.

At first, it's Linh. It happens at night, so he has no idea what's going on. Her voice wakes him up, and at first, he thinks he's dreaming. But when he sees her, he believes it's really her, really believes she's risked herself to come rescue him. He wans to tell her off, but he knows there's no time, so he follows her out into the hall.

He gets caught and punished.

Next it's Biana and Sophie. Then Keefe. Amazingly, he follows Keefe out more willingly than the others, because he believes there's no way the Neverseen would think he'd fall for Keefe willingly rescuing him. He did. He does over and over, because he wants to believe it's really them. He just wants to see his sister again.

Then the day comes. Alarms are going off, there's shouting, explosions--everything to make a convincing rescue attempt. But he's not falling for it this time. Not again. He'd given up. He'd accepted that the best thing for Linh was for them to stay away, and deep down he really was grateful. So he ignored the alarms, he ignored his friends calling his name. Until they were silenced.

He didn't question it until he saw a singed picture on the floor--it was him and Linh and their best friend from Foxfire. Her hair's spread out around her head and she's laughing up at the camera she's holding. Linh's on one side, her tongue sticking out and peace symbol held high. Tam himself was on the opposite side, saluting with two fingers while pushing his silver-free bangs back with his free hand.

And he realizes what happens. He doesn't remember what he did. Just the shouts, just the alarms. Until like his sister, he was silenced.

Wow. That got kinda dark. Sorry. and if you guys want me to stop spamming this page with random fanfics/headcanons, please let me know.
