Kate runs away when she's seven.
Wayne's yelling, her mother is crying, and the sound of shattering glass echoes off the thin walls. The broken shards collect her image, splitting her into pieces. For a moment, she's torn between staying and leaving (but she sees the bruise across Ma's cheek and the warning in her eyes), and knows.
She scrambles out the screen door, her own tears (of guilt) trickling down and her ponytail flying wildly. She hides in an empty lot a few houses down, the tall grass (weeds) shielding her from the world as she leans against a rusty barrel, praying for Wayne to pass out.
