*Irene held her head high as they put her in her cell. She didn't cry or fight- indeed, her face seemed free of any emotion whatsoever, as if her mind were elsewhere. Once inside, she stared at the wall with an expression that suggested she wished she'd brought a book*

*Holmes, after demanding from Crane to know where Irene had gone, raced to Charenton. Whatever had happened wasn't her fault, and she certainly didn't belong here. What had he done?
He was shown to her cell and demanded to be left alone. His commanding presence made it impossible to refuse him.*
"Irene?" *he called softly. He hated seeing her here.*

((She's still normal right now...))
*Irene looked up at his voice*
"Holmes..."
*She stood, and went as close to him as her cell would allow*

*Holmes met her at the bars.*
"Irene... I'm so sorry. I'll get you out of here. It's all a terrible mistake."
*He frowned.*
"Have you been hurt?"

"It's not a mistake. Listen to me..."
*She looked at him pleadingly*
"I'm fine right now- I often am. But then, all of a sudden, She takes over. I know I'm not making much, but it's the only way I can explain it."

*Holmes reached his fingers through the bars.*
"Irene, I cannot believe that. Do you mean to tell me you deserve this? Who takes over?"

"The doctor called her the Id. I black out, and when I wake up, time has passed and I can't remember anything- but they tell me that She was in me again."
*She looked away*
"It's been a while, now. I expect She'll be back soon..."

"The... 'id'?" *he repeated. It was a trifle embarrassing, but he did not know that word.* "Possession isn't real," *he insisted.* "Isn't that what you're describing?"

"No, not posession."
*She put her hand to her head, which clearly hurt*
"Madness..."

*Holmes frowned, worried.*
"But surely, something can be done. I refuse to believe otherwise. Irene... what is it?"

"My head", *she moaned*. "It's coming on again..."

"Irene," *Holmes said fiercely, his grey eyes attempting to hold her together.* "Irene, fight it. Can't you?"

"I can't", *she gasped. She leaned against the wall, her eyes shut*

"Irene!"
*Holmes reached for her, but of course the bars stopped him.*

*She fell to the ground, holding her head. She twitched for a moent, then was eerily still. After what seemed an eternity but was only a minute, a strange laugh issued from her lips*
