[She stares at the bed. She stares at him. He moves onto the bed and she stares at him and the bed at the same time.
You're at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
She's hungry.
He feeds her. He likes when she copies him. That's what he just asked her to do, right? If she does what he does, then he'll be happy and feed her again. It's harder than she would have expected to lift her knee onto the edge of the bed to join her palms, and she stops and stares at it while questioning whether the creak came from it or the mattress. It doesn't answer her. She doesn't know if she would have understood anyway.
Something tries to steer her attention back onto the road, but she's drifted too much to know where that is for several moments. Oh, but she's in the middle of crawling, and moving is something she knows how to do, even if every part of her is aching. Once she's kneeled on the bed, something sees Teo again and remembers. Right. She's copying him. Her stomach protests, but there's a vague feeling someone else might have named relief going through the rest of her as she makes herself flop down onto her side.
Her blank eyes, silence, and lack of movement once she settles all make her appear more like the corpse she really is now.]
