[ dusts them off and the diary if it needs it, but otherwise leaves them be. wow, reading a diary is rude. it's not like you're running through her heart or anything.
[ "Meet at the usual place. Don't be late. Remember, you can't tell your parents anything about what's been going on. Never forget: we're your family now, not them." ]
[ As you start to piece the photos together, it becomes clear that they're all family pictures. Brianna, her mom, her little sisters... there are even one or two of a tiny Brianna and her biological father. ]
[ Is there glue or tape or something, because he'll totally try to piece them together. If not he'll put them together as carefully and best he can before looking for a pencil or something... ]
