Shiloh had no idea where Adelaide had gone. She felt ashamed for what she had put her friend through... but if she was going to come out of the closet, she needed to do so with more than just her. She had no doubts Adelaide would tell her father, but... It felt wrong, waiting for her friend to do it. Rai deserved to know, and to hear it from her.
Her head hung low, she made her way through the bunker. The secretary smiled at her, but she didn't smile back. She gave a little wave, and then made her way straight to Rai's office, knocking quietly.

"Come in."
The response was short and to the point it was obvious his attention was elsewhere at the moment!

Shiloh took a deep breath before entering. She closed the door quietly behind herself, tucking her hands between herself and the door, and stared down at the floor without saying a word.

Rai would be busy flipping through paperwork that he didn't look up for a moment, but as Shiloh remained silent he would look up to see who had entered, upon seeing Shiloh he would put his paperwork down and look at here quizzically.
"Shiloh? What brings you here my dear? Are you alright?"

"I, um... I need to tell you something, Mr. Sudeki..."
She murmured softly, keeping her gaze averted.

"Of course, come in, come in, have a seat."
He would say standing up noticing the difference in her tone.
"Can I get you anything to drink? I think I might have some soda in the fridge?"

"I don't really drink much soda..." Shiloh murmured softly, not moving away from the door. She knew she had to say it, but she just couldn't figure out how. She closed her eyes tightly, as if that alone might make her disappear.

"Ah, well... You enjoy coffee, right? I always see you with one when you visit Addie. I'll have the receptionist bring you some."
He would click a button on the phone on his desk.
"Tamara, could you brink in a fresh cup of coffee for Miss Shiloh? Thank you."

Shiloh visibly winced when Rai said Adelaide's name. She nodded at his question and moved away from the door, keeping her back to the wall.
"Mr. Sudeki, I... need to tell you something... because I need you to... to hear it from me. Okay?"

He inspected the girl for a moment then took his seat and nodded.
"Alright. Then, please, take a seat, and lets wait a moment for your coffee to get here so we won't risk anyone interrupting."
If she agreed he would wait a moment in silence until a light tapping at his door was made and the secretary would come in and hand Shiloh a cup of coffee.

Shiloh waited for her cup of coffee by the door. She accepted it with a quiet "thank you," and then moved to take the seat Rai had originally offered her. Instead of drinking the coffee, however, she simply stared into it for a moment.
Adelaide had left her... Rai would surely hate her too. And the thought made telling him 100% more difficult.

Rai would wait patiently for the girl to speak. She was obviously distressed about something.

"I..." Her throat clogged with emotion, and she shrunk a bit into herself, before finally bringing herself to say it. "I'm a.... a Meta."

He waited a beat. Then realized that's all she had to say.
"Yeah, and?"

Her head jerked up, tears in her green eyes. She was waiting for him to yell at her, or run away. When he did neither, the tears started to fall.
"And... a-and I'm.... I've been... hiding it from everybody?"
