[She lets him, not caring much for the fact that they're going to get stuck like this. When they sit on the bed, she draws her knees up to her chest.]
And if we can't trust any promises we get about not getting stuck in this kind of shit again, then... How do we know it's not going to happen again even if we get out?
[It's fine. Now they have an excuse to hold hands for a whole ass hour. Sometimes these things happen.]
... I don't know. I don't think there are any promises we can trust. [It's, haha, a wonderful thing to think about. They had trust issues before the town, they had bigger trust issues after everything was said and done — and now there's this.] It's all kinds of fucked up, isn't it?

[Everything sucks, man.]
Sure. As long as you talk about it, too. Don't think I didn't notice you didn't say if you were okay or not.

We just wanted to be able to go home. I'm tired of having to wonder if someone is going to hurt any of you.

I don't want to lose you again. [...] Any of you.
[Nice save.]
