[Ryder never claimed to be smart. Anyway, her lie is different!!! Her lie only makes her want to die, it doesn't fuck over other people. Let's just ignore the fact that she would have been -- okay, not happy, but relieved to let these other survivors get eaten if things hadn't worked out. Though she might be longing for that reality now, with Maddy's comment about her being more useful alive. What does that mean? Hey Maddy, what does that mean??? Ryder doesn't want to find out what that means.

She makes some kind of strangled noise that is probably meant to assure Maddy that she won't be doing anything like that -- for multiple reasons -- and when the girl turns away, she opens the car, pushes herself inside, and slams it shut behind her. The coat is already off before she starts speaking in a quick, hushed tone. Her face is still flushed red with mortification.]

I'm so, so s-sorry, fuck. N-needed an -- excuse to give these -- back.

[There's no time to waffle over being topless and facing him in such close quarters. Off the hoodie goes, too! Not like it matters. Not like he would want to see or touch her even if he wasn't infected. She doesn't need to remind him to hurry to put them back on, either.]

I said we -- would find supplies for them. Medicine. Sorry. There's -- two others, another girl and probably -- dad? [She's reaching for her bra when she catches up to her panic and stares at him with wide, worried eyes.] A-are you okay?
