Summary
One day, Dylan wakes up.
Dylan’s room feels very big and very small. Unseen, confidential, but extremely exposed. Jesse tries not to wonder how they kept Dylan contained. She really tries not to wonder what the Hiss did to break him out. Nobody has come to clean this room. The House hasn’t shifted it. Her name is still scrawled on the table and glass. "You must see the truth for yourself, Jesse, Sister. The horrible truth about the Bureau." Dylan’s words-- maybe Dylan’s words, maybe the Hiss’s words, she isn’t sure-- play over in her head. She thumbs through a file on the desk she’s memorized by now. Observations on her brother, every hour, everything he does, locked up. "I’m P6. Trench and Darling made sure of that."
Jesse is Director now. She has to make sure that never happens again. Do whatever she can.

Summary
You cannot unring a bell— an introduced idea cannot be totally forgotten. Pope said the Hiss 'changed his physiology'. He swears he can feel the resonance still echo in him, still ringing, still haunting him. Dylan sits wide awake at night barely aware of the dark world around him, consumed with fear and anxiety.
Where did the Hiss end and he begin?

Summary
“You were expecting Dylan.”
“...you are Dylan.”
“Not your Dylan.”
Jesse fails to find a response, let alone a thought, to make heads or tails of his meaning. Usually, she knows her brother better than anyone else, even when he dips into the far reaches of speech and thought.(Dylan picks through his rattled thoughts with Jesse the morning after a nightmare that left him shaken. Despite leaving the House and Hiss behind him, it all still haunts his waking (and sleeping) moments. Jesse tries to help him make sense of it all.)

Summary
Rumors are often incredibly false, markedly hilarious, or downright malicious. But they reveal truths nonetheless— either by finding their roots and basis in a truth to start, or by revealing the intent of the person that started the gossip. It’s a glimpse into the collective conscious of a workplace. A world. A culture. And the atmosphere among the FBC is ripe with spiraling rumors.
A set of connected oneshots about rumors surrounding Dylan Faden, now that he's awake, and what truth there is to the gossip.
