She knows, now. She knows - the beginning, it was Joseph first, and then Corrine's own words. Even though Raleigh knows that it's not right, that she shouldn't think that it would be better to be a slave then to be dead to make Joseph live longer...
"I know. I know." She says it to the ceiling as the tears slip back into her hair, and her lower lip wavers as she doesn't want to think of it. As she tries to think of what they'll do to her - and given how this was a lie, how this whole thing was a lie, she wonders if they'll do the one thing that he said they wouldn't.
She wonders, now, why he told her that they wouldn't violate her. If it was so she'd think it wouldn't happen.
"Your life isn't over. You... You can- You can get away, later, when he's sleeping, or... I don't know, but you can get away. Everyone knows who you are."
She starts to cry, then. Really cry. "Nobody's even going to know I'm dead," she says thickly. "Nobody would miss me, so- so it's good, if you survive." It's gotten to her. The stress, the pain, the exhaustion - the things Joseph said. A young girl that no one would miss walking alone before the sun is up... perhaps you should have valued your own life more
"You have to get up. They need to think that you're okay." That's when she finally said it. That she was Emily, and Raleigh couldn't even say anything but the truth. "Emily's my mother. Emily Gregson. Please, just- just tell her I'm sorry, and that I love her. That I loved her, okay?" Her words are thick with tears, and she's just staring up at the ceiling now, letting them run back to her hair.
