[ Ana stands so she can come over to where You is sitting. She puts her hand on the young woman's shoulder. Needing to stay inside and come apart for a while is something she understands better than most people.
She wishes that You didn't understand it. She's a young woman - she shouldn't know what it is to fear for her life, or to see someone die in front of her. ]
I know what you mean. Is that why you haven't been sleeping? [ It's pretty obvious from looking at her that she hasn't closed her eyes much at all. ]
[There's a quiet, pregnant pause before You nods, a short single nod of her head that speaks volumes.] ...yeah.
Every time I lie down I just start thinking about-- about, you know, stuff, so I get up and have a drink or make a snack or something and before I know it, hey, it's light out, and...!
[You sounds frustrated, and confused, and wears her heart on her sleeve.
She doesn't know how to deal with this.] And I don't get why it had to happen at all. --any of it!
