Michael and Jules made their way over to the retirement center, where Harold “Poppy” has settled in quite nicely.
MICHAEL- “So has he gotten worse since coming here?”
JULES- “Somewhat, the doctor said the change of his surroundings and routine is a probable cause of it, but once he gets used to it here, and the new routine we should see a little improvement. But he will never get better, just progressively worse.”
MICHAEL- “So they still believe you are his daughter, right?”
JULES- “Yes, which for him he also believes that as well.”
As they enter the common area of the home, Jules sees him at the table playing chess with one of the staff. His day nurse, Vanetta Holmes meets them as they come towards where Harold is sitting.
VANETTA- “Hello Miss Vernon, good to see you. Your dad has been talking about your visit all morning.”
JULES- “Good, so he remembered I was coming today.”
VANETTA- “I put it on his calendar on his day board, but he keeps referring to you as his sister. Just so you know.”
JULES- “That’s fine, he done that off and on when we lived in Strangerville too.”
VANETTA- “Okay, did he also talk about vampires killing people there?”
JULES- “Oh, yeah, he loved watching the vampire shows, and I think he got reality confused with the TV.”
VANETTA- “oh... okay, that explains a lot then. Enjoy your visit, today.”
