"Nice to meet you, John," she says, as genial as the day is long. He's taller than her, Emerald notices first, and by not a small amount. Shame that that just makes him closer to the sun, but they'll be back at the hotel in no time.
"We don't have much, but there's a hotel, a pool, a diner... more than enough space for everyone. And there's," and she thinks quickly to the day-long pool party, "Maybe about thirty people here? We're all in the same situation: We remember maybe a handful of things about what happened before we ended up here." There's a small pause as she thinks on the memory of Penny, and when she finishes it's a little more somber. "Nobody really knows why. If we think too hard about it, the bleeding starts."
