It's when he says it the second time that Raleigh's heart drops into her stomach, and her eyes well with tears, her hand shaking as she takes a deep breath. He caught me by surprise.

She's messed up, she's messed him up so bad, and she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't- He's staring at the glass, and she keeps thinking about the room, now, the room she'd been locked in and the blood on the floor and she's not going to do this. She's not. "It's my mess," she says softly, her voice a whisper. "I'll get it, I broke it, don't worry. Don't worry," she says it again. "I'm okay, I just- I need a minute, but I'm okay, I got it. You- I just need a few minutes, but you should go get your medication."

It's the right answer, and she's got to get them out of here, she's got to get away, to be by herself. "Okay? I'm alright." She's not, she's so not alright, but she can get through this, she can bandage herself up and get the glass out of her foot, when she can finally stand again. She just wishes so much that this had never happened. She wants to just beg Joel to take care of him, to get him out of here, away from the glass, but... it's not up to her.
