Cage purses his lips and stares towards silver’s voice. “Could you like, un-invisible yourself so I can look you in the eye?”
He turns to Miki, “congratulations on finding her by the way. Where was she?”

"Oh! I'm still– I'm sorry, I forgot. Umm. I don't think– auugh, Gabriel, I'm still invisible!" Silver called.

"On the couch. Well, she came out of the library shortly after you went to bed." Miki replied.

Cage furrows his brow. “Library?”

From inside the Laundry room, Gabe holds Ben steady while Violet finishes cleaning and bandaging his wound. His bruise is not as dark, but his face his pale and there’s noticeable circles under his eyes.
Gabe heats Silver from the kitchen and glances at the door.
Ahck, I forgot.
He goes to turn her visible when Ben stirs a little knocking them both off balance and interrupting his focus.

Silver becomes a little more visible, but is still transparent.

Silver waited patiently. She couldn't see any difference in herself, but she thought she felt something change. "Is that better? Can you see me now?" She held up her hand.

Miki glanced over her shoulder. And screamed.

Cage throws his pancake at Silver with a jump. “YOU LOOK LIKE A FRIGGIN GHOST!”

Silver yelped as the pancake hit her arm. "What?? Why?? What's wrong??"

Miki shook herself as if chills were chasing over her arms. "I'm sorry, Sil, I just cant look at you right now."

Cage whips out his phone and takes a photo. He jogs over, shoving it in her face “LOOK SIL. HES TURNED YOU INTO A MONSTER.”

Silver snatched his phone from him to hold it steady and started laughing when she realized what happened. "Whoa, the camera actually captured it though! That's so cool!"

"NOT cool!" Miki said, her back still to her. "You're gonna give me nightmares."

Cage gently shoves her. “Go get him to make you fully visible. Where’d he go anyways?”

Silver wiggled her fingers at him. "I… don't really know. That's why I just yelled. Gabriel!" She called again. "I'm still ghosty!"

Cage snatched his phone back, shoving it in his pocket. “Did Ben ever show back up? I’m assuming he left but he may just be in the basement.”

Miki coughed and shoved a piece of pancake in her mouth. "Yeah, he's back. He's with Vi."

Silver also took an emergency bite of her pancake and tried to not look at Cage.

Cage nods. “Good. I’m glad he didn’t stay out too long or…” he looks between the girls, eyes narrowing. “Whaaat…?”

Miki glanced back and then pretended to be creeped out by seeing Silver again. "They're… together, Cage." Miki said, flipping another pancake. "Do I have to spell it out for you?"

His face flushes a little, “no but you guys are being weird. Don’t act like I’m stupid for asking you weirdos.” He reaches up and ruffles Miki’s hair.

Gabriel goes to shift Ben again as his arm falls asleep, “he’s, Augh, really heavy.” He squeaks from underneath Ben.
Violet sighs, “I know, I know. Hang in there I’m almost done.” She secures the bandage, giving it a little pressure. “Done!”
Gabriel scooches to the side, laying him on the floor. “Why’d he pass out? Blood loss?”
She shakes her head a little, standing and dusting herself off. “He didn’t lose enough. It was probably stress and sleep deprivation.” She walks to the cabinet, putting away the things and rinsing the cloth with hot water. “I’ve gotta get that blood out of his hair. Kiss, will you set his head on your lap?”
Kiss nods and sits beside him, pulling his head onto the lap.

Silver tried to keep a straight face and ate her pancake. Miki shrugged. "Sorry, but there's no good way to say that without it coming out weird." She handed him another pancake.

Gabriel, fully visible, exits the laundry room and closes the door behind him. He looks over Silver and she suddenly becomes fully visible. “Sorry.” He mumbles. “I was distracted.”
Cage blinks at Gabe. “Doing laundry?”
Gabriel gives him a glare, returning to Silvers side, “no.”

"Thanks," Silver said. "You can look at me now, Miki."
Miki looked expectantly at Gabe. "I asked him to get me something. Did you get it?" She asked him.

Gabriel turns his glare to Miki. “What??”
Cage giggles. “He forgot why he was in there and just walked out, the idiot.” He laughs, “it okay Gabe. Mik, what did you want? I’ll go grab it.” He walks to the door, setting his hand on the knob and turning to face Miki.

Miki's face paled slightly and she dove for the cabinet under the sink while Silver held her breath and bit her lip.
"Actually… hang on, I got some in here!" She triumphantly held up a bottle of dish soap. "I thought we were out."
Silver spun around and covered her mouth with her hand to keep from laughing.

“Oh, okay.” He lets go of the knob. Then remembering something he puts his hand on it again. “I’ll just go put my laundry in then. I was thinking about my red skinny jeans before I fell asleep and I really wanna wear em tomorrow…I mean today.”

Silver choked and flicked her hand, silently and remotely locking the door. Miki dropped the soap and the lid popped off, squirting soap across the kitchen floor.
"Cage, I–OH NO." She yelped.

Cage jumps back, “Augh! Miki, What on earth??” He wipes dishsoap off of his foot. “Yuck. While I’m at it I’ll grab a rag to clean that up.” He grabs the knob and goes to turn it, but it’s locked. He tries again and again. “Wha? What?? Do we have a key for this? Gabe, did you lock it?”
Gabriel furrows his brow. “No, Silver did.”

Silver made a gagging sound and almost smacked Gabriel, before remembering how easily he bruised.
"No, no, I have a towel here, Cage. I'm good." Miki said.
Silver composed herself and said with a dead straight face, "Gabriel put a raccoon in the laundry room so I didn't want you to go in there and get scared." She glanced at Gabriel and very loudly thought, WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP CAGE AWAY FROM BEN

Gabriel stares at Sil, looking into her intense eyes and knowing she’s trying to say something. He blinks.
Im sorry, but what???
Cage lets go. “Okay? You could’ve told me. I’ll do it tomorrow. Gabe, the entire stick is for your animals, don’t put them in there.”
He walks away from the door and the knob wiggles from the inside. He turns to stare at it before grabbing Miki’s arm. “ITS TRYING TO GET OUT.”
