She hadn't talked to many people since it started, but she'd said enough, and so it was easier to just hide away in her room and wait for it to end, to go back to pretending like everything was fine, even though it clearly wasn't and wouldn't be, especially not after this.
It was hard not to just sit up and tell Bond to leave when he came over to use her shower on the third day, but that would mean letting him know she was awake, and would risk her saying something awful, like I don't actually want you to leave, or something else, and so she just stayed curled under the covers, back to the door, and hoped he'd just leave without trying to talk to her.]
