[Directly after thisGracie sits with her head resting on Bar for a long time. Finally she lifts her head up slightly and quietly asks Bar if Lellow Kake is still in the same room. A few napkins later Gracie is headed upstairs. She arrives at the room in question and, without knocking, enters it. Without preamble she flops down on Lellow Kake's bed

Kate's in the shower; when she emerges from the bathroom in a cloud of steam, she's wrapped in electric-orange terrycloth (the color was all Bar's idea) and toweling her hair.

She's heading toward the dresser when she lets the smaller towel (a squint-inducing lime) fall to her shoulders.

And she freezes.

"Gracie?"

Gracie doesn't lift her head and so her voice comes out muffled as she speaks into the comforter.
"I'm a failure.

A bad person.

I should be locked up away from humanity."

Kate frowns; suspending her questions (When did you get back? How long have you been here?) for the moment, she tightens her towel and takes a seat on the bed.

"I don't think that's true."

She strokes Grace's hair.

"What happened?"

"Kassen was upset and I tried to help but it didn't and then I let her leave. Just let her go."

She sighs.

"I should've tried harder."
