But literally? Seriously?

[There's a long pause on her end. It's filled with screaming, but not Penny's.]

...I was walking to work. To the Welcome Center. I felt like I was being followed, then I--I don't know what happened. I woke up for a while and there was this monster whipping anyone who spoke or cried, so I... so I was quiet, and now I'm here.

I don't know how literal you can be about something like that in a place this, but it's not really important right now.

[Claire, who is walking, stops at that.]

I just need you to give me directions or something. You don't have to take me all the way down.

What, do you have, like, magical angel armor or something?
