Just that we might be dealing with people who don't have our best intentions at heart. Whether they're the ones we've met, or ones we haven't.

Something set up the perfect conditions for that girl to get hurt. Everyone locked up and knocked out, no working phones. She couldn't have gotten help if she tried.

[ he looks stricken at the thought. ]

You think this might've been planned? But that's... That doesn't sound like something any of us could do. And the angels have just been trying to help us.

Look, I don't mean it's one of us or even one of them, not for sure. All right? And maybe it's nobody. Maybe it was a bad accident. Caught in the tide, bad fall. Anything. I don't care to cast suspicion where it doesn't need to be, especially without more facts.

Just keep an open mind. And think about how this all played out — what we know so far.

[He counts it off on his fingers.]

We were all mysteriously locked in somewhere for the bulk of the evening last night. Our phones stopped working, no call or text functions available. We all fell asleep, seemingly simultaneously. And when Charlie left — left a room with ten other people in it, one of whom had seemed to have some degree of claustrophobia — Charlie didn't wake any of them up. Didn't take anyone with her, not even by dragging us out.

When did that girl ever not volunteer herself for anything we needed? She wouldn't have left people behind. Not by choice.

It's a weird set of circumstances. So, we need to be prepared that we'll find some weird answers. Nothing to get rash about right now, but just...steel yourself.

I don't know... she might have tried to handle it by herself if she thought there was danger. Especially if everyone was still out cold.

[ part of taking care of everyone, isn't it? she seemed to care a little less about herself than about all those around her. he's not arguing with richie, though - he has a point, it's just not one that laurence was prepared to think about. ]

Maybe you're right. It is all really weird. [ but where does that leave them? even more lost and confused? ] But I don't understand what that could mean. It's Heaven. Shouldn't it be safe? And if we don't get answers, or it's just... weird answers, what is anyone supposed to do about it?
