Elaine doesn't want to have seen what she saw last night.

Not that place. Not her friend.

She hasn't been able to move since, and she's still shaking a little.

Not that place. Not her friend.

Elaine is sitting in a chair, knees to chest, bottle of beer in hand. It's the first one of the day, so no worries there.

She's not been back to her room, and she's not eaten anything today, either.

She might be afraid to close her eyes.

"It is," Michelle whispers. "I know how it feels to be afraid to close your eyes."

"Yes, but also things that you can't unsee."

Michelle puts her hand on Elaine's shoulder, "Eventually you have to sleep."

"If anyone can rescue your friend, it's the people in this bar."

"Elaine? You need to go upstairs," Michelle tries again.

"No, I...understand feeling that way. Can you make it up the stairs?"

Michelle nods and stands up.
