Things are shifting, the ground is soft underfoot. You can't trust where you're stepping, and collapse is imminent. But what does it mean to collapse? To fall, to crumple to the ground? To relax against someone, exhausted and needing that weight against you as comfort? To lose something intangible, something you didn't know was so integral to your …

Grace has made a deal that she and Bea can't back out of: A return to Emiel under Lennox's endlessly watching eye. Everything is getting too close, everything is starting to strain, and Grace is now returning to the world she thought she had escaped from. Bea is experiencing some real flighty coworkers. And Rhys? Well, he's out there listening to t…

The only way to keep a secret is to tell no one. The second you tell another person, it's out and it has a life of its own. Grace's secret is carried in Bea, but the shadow it casts is spreading. Lennox knows this and he'll use it to his advantage, she knows that. But he's not the only one who knows, and the shadow grows longer and longer and touch…

"Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you'll understand them better," that's an approximation of the saying, right? Well, what about their socks? And their pants? And their shirt? And their skin? The feeling of their muscles and bones moving in concert, a feeling you understand but is still completely and utterly foreign to you, because they are…

There's something in the distance, just out of sight. There's something whispering to you in the darkness, but you can't make the words out. There's something coming, but you can't seem to make out what it is. The storm is growing and growing and growing, thunder in the distance, a lightning flash on the edge of your vision.

When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Do you know who's looking back? A client comes looking for help with a presence in their life that's causing problem after problem. Another client is looking for closure on a chapter of their life that they want to be done. But closure isn't easy, or wanted, or guaranteed. Sometimes you're left…

It's a new day (night, really) and Bea, Grace, and Rhys have a whole new world to face. Bea's coming to terms with an ability she didn't expect or want. Grace has to deal with the full-throated return of the one person she's been trying to keep as far away as possible. Rhys... actually, I'm not sure what Rhys is doing. I'm sure it's fun though. And…

WOODBINE S2 - EMIEL HOLDINGS NEW EMPLOYEE VIDEO 3:08

2M ago3:08

3:08

Hello, and welcome. Here at Emiel, we like to think of ourselves as a community. A family, even. One not tied through blood - although that is a part of it, in a sense - but through a shared commitment. You help each other. You support each other. You stand by each other. That is how things work here. At the very least, it is the environment we hop…

What flashes before your eyes as you die? Memories, thoughts big and small that nested somewhere in your brain, echoes you ignored. But in those final flashes, the silliest things can be brought to the forefront: Unimportant conversations, odd moments, even cases you never put that much importance in. Now, that last one only really applies if you w…

You can only run for so long. At some point, you have to face your problems head on. Usually, you'd do this in therapy, but Grace is tired of platitudes and obfuscations and questions. She wants answers and there's only one person who can give them to her. But that means no more running, no more avoiding, no more looking away. You have to face your…

Sometimes you have to turn to an old friend for some help. The life experience that comes with age can give a lot of insight into all kinds of situations. And when that person is ageless? Well, then you can expect some truly sage advice. For Grace and Bea, Lennox's shadow grows ever longer, Hollis continues to insert themselves wherever they want, …

The past will always find its way back to you, whether it is the distant or the recent. It comes back with claws, ready to pull you into its embrace. You can't escape the violence that made you. It will always find a way to hook itself into your skin, burrow under, and then wait until you think you're safe. The past Grace has been running from is c…

Oh boy, it's time for a super fun bar crawl with the team! Obviously this is some sort of delightful work outing, right? In any other capacity, it probably would be. But for Grace, Bea, and Rhys, the party is overshadowed by the case at hand. Hard to get too enthused when you've got a malicious being on your tail, really puts a damper on the evenin…

The worst kind of joke is not one where no one laughs, but one where the joke-teller takes a violent, unyielding umbrage with your lack of mirth. The joke is on Grace when a not-so-funny artefact goes missing and someone from her past makes a sudden return. It's really no laughing matter though when Lennox reappears, leaving her with more questions…

AMARANTHINE: undying. Trust. Simple in theory — do you have faith in someone, someone you love, someone you know, someone you care about? It can be difficult in practice, and there comes that moment where you ask yourself... how do you find faith in the darkness? Who do you place your confidence in? Who can you rely on?

CALIGINOUS: misty, dim; obscure, dark. Starting anything with, "Webster's Dictionary defines..." is always a bad move, so I'll just say this: Family is whatever you need it to be.

TORSION: the state of being twisted. There are plenty of good things about your university days, but spending time in the big sterile libraries is rarely one.
